As always, I am never surprised during a trip to Walmart, otherwise known as wallyworld to some of us. I almost never go there, as we have an Aldi and a Bottom Dollar store near me.

I pull my car to an empty area near the back of the lot. Everyone knows that large parking lots are extremely hazardous to clean, undented cars. I look to my left and see this fiasco parked two spaces away.


An older Saturn had aluminum foil on the half of left rear wheel well. I guess this is being used as a replacement for automotive steel.
I am never surprised when I go to Walmart. It can be depressing, motivating, humorous, and envigorating all at the same time. I certainly respect anyone who works there, but as they say, it takes all kinds.

:p Was it aluminum fold or the 100 MPH duct tape? :p

I think it was the aluminum duct tape. I am pretty sure that that stuff should be used on ductwork.

Perhaps this vehicle's owner is just a "Rabid NASCAR Fan"...
Just trying to emulate some of the: "git 'er done", race-ready 'methods' of his Pit Crew heroes!

Be glad you didn't meet him face-to-face!!!

Dude, not cool Bob, thats my Aunt on her honeymoon. She bought that outfit from Wal Mart and was so happy to have something nice to wear for her husband on their special night. Those tires belonged to Dale #3

That isn't a Saturn, that is a Dodge Neon. Saturns have plastic side panels.

No offense intended...But:

So sorry to hear of your misfortune (of which side of the family does she claim to be related?)

And...From over here, (on the safe-side of town), it looks as if both of the above highlighted-in-red 'things' are worn-out re-treads.


:D

Wow apparently I need to start buying food at Walmart (that would be a BIG change since I currently try to never go there at all, for anything, ever). They apparently have REALLY fresh turkey!

That's my grandpas special shopping turkey. Helps him save a ton of money because it always gobbles up the best deals.
