13 Crazy Car Transformations

Here's a list of DIY motor vehicle modifications-gone-wrong. Saying they're just hilarious is an understatement; the drivers of these cars clearly have no shame.

If You Can’t Haul It, Tape-it

This bunch is riding in a hot-mess-of-a-car. Moving isn't always a comfortable ride, but it's never this airtight. A U-Haul is under $30, but this couple knows how to invent and save all too well. They're packed, duct-taped-in, and driving as if the cardboard boxes on top-of-the-car aren’t too dramatic. This car is way too reliable.

Car Turned Pickup

This car-turned-pickup made of woodwork is an example of creativity gone wrong. Choosing between a pickup and a car was apparently too difficult, so making one seemed easier. It's modeling a neat woodwork construction made of a recycled pickup bed and a small car. The "Volvo" logo attached to the rear is a knockoff gone wrong.

Wooden Truck-Bed

The woodwork done on this truck is the least inspiring, but it’s still an out-of-the-ordinary invention. Nobody knows what was going through the owner’s mind. It’s definitely something to ponder. It seems this trucker does not care in the least about what’s street legal.

Car With Trash Holding It Together

Here's another hot-mess-of-a-car in public space. The mastermind behind this mod has some serious explaining to do. This car is boasting trash all over its hood, held together with bungee cords, duct tape, and a flannel.

Overloaded Van With Sagging Backend

The teeny-tiny wheels added to this dated monster-of-a-van is a road hazard all to itself. The owner doesn't seem to notice or care about the vehicle and has chosen to load it up with cargo. It's in need of serious maintenance with its frame sagging underneath its body.

Missing Wheel? No Problem!

There’s no stumbling block that can stop this driver whose tire has failed. It’s difficult to explain this sort of tire modification for this hatchback car. This is what defines an airtight auto repair budget.

Shopping Cart Bike

Not all crappy modifications to vehicles or motorcycles flop as some are ridiculously creative. This shopping-cart-motorcycle is an example of such ingenuity. It’s a smart way to carry grocery items on a bike.

Scrap Metal Station Wagon

Cars don’t come cheap these days. This station wagon is patched up with the weirdest scrap metal work of the century. There’s no word to describe this junk-of-car. It’s a street legal road menace. At least it’s safe.

Hatchback Turned Hauler

Manufacturers rule against the use of small vehicles to haul heavy objects. This car owner is a rebel whose way-of-life defies this logic. His best-in-class hatched-turned-hauler is a smart and comical gesture.

Steam-Powered Van

These creative vehicle modifications keep getting weirder. The owner of this van has recycled junkyard materials to install a stove of sorts into the back. It’s a jaw-dropping one-of-a-kind modification.

Comfort Motorcycle

There’s no denying that motorcycles have uncomfortable seats, but is it reason enough to modify its architecture? The owner of this comfortable-looking motorcycle with car-seat-modification has fashioned a quick-fix for poor-posture-while-riding. No more back pains!

Motorcycle Turned Tricycle

Storage space is a main concern for motorcycle riders. This owner has patented their idea of a first-generation tricycle trailer. It’s made with a motorcycle and a car hood turned trailer.

Appliance Delivery Hack

It’s expensive to have an appliance delivered the traditional way. With a friend in the trunk of a car holding the appliance on a dolly, it IS possible to cut down on delivery costs.
