Title: ghetto automobile airconditioner
Post by: MotoCreations on July 16, 2009, 08:29:32 AM
I don't know what the goal is, but I'm sure it works rather well!

I doubt if the right mirror functions that well.

I wonder if they might be trying to freeze the mother-in-law to death when riding in the backseat?

Do you think the wind blowing through the airconditioner would create a whistling sound given how it is mounted?

Cool thing is -- I don't see any plastic or duct tape!

Comments or good quotes?

Considering the "repaired" tail light I'm guessing the cars AC crapped out and this was a cheaper solution with the stuff he had on hand.  Or maybe the leg cast gets really hot and the car AC didn't do it for him (crutch in back window).

that a/c unit has been gutted out. it now houses squirrels. the generator powers the HNY2000 squirrel launcher.

I saw a piece of shit like this when I was in Port Huron. The headlights were held in with the same stuff with garbage bags providing some sort of backing for the foam.

Is it just me, or wouldn't it have been easier to just fix the damned a/c in the car.....

But a ninja would be able to defeat the launcher

I was diggin the way the generator mount was welded onto the trunk lid! No doubt he beefed up the gas struts for the trunk so the built in keg in the trunk can be accessed.

Ah.... Port Huron, I went to HS there.  And I'm not surprised at all, most of the cars there are 90% bondo.

just noticed this, but that butterfly symbol on the trunk is used in japan to indicate a beginner driver...    could this be IZ's tokyo ride?
