“I’ve been workin’ on the Yugo
All the live-long day…”
the name “seven wheel drive” is a little misleading, as the four cart wheels aren’t actually driven.
Is the bar he is holding some sort of steering? That would make this a truly fun competition.
This photo makes me wonder if this guy is on his way to get a spare tire or if he’s treating this as a permanent solution.
OK, and this was easier than – oh, I don’t know… a new tire, perhaps?
I suppose the guy is there to make sure that the pushcart’s wheels stay in line with the car’s (remaining) ones?
Prison Break’s production value has gone way down.
it actually steers the cart, i’ve used many of these carts before
however, it would have a really hard time, not only staying on top of the board (hope they’ve locked it somehow)
but also steering the car, seeing how the other back wheel would hold its angle….
i would love to see some clever teamwork with the car driver being able to do some interesting things, though
Yugo, I’ll stay.
This is a Polish designated driver service. See, they take the wheel off your car so you’re not tempted to drive drunk. Then they drive you home in your own car, then skate back to work on the dolly.
@dono1 It’s not funny when they’re everywhere around you, believe me. If I look out of the window now, I can see at least 20 of them and it’ll take years until they’re history, people fix them up as much as any other cars, replace parts with random household items…
…one day they’ll be as famous as Trabants and I’ll *sniff* be proud that they come from my country.
Accelerate too quickly and that guy’ll be singing “Hello, Dolly”…in falsetto.
@Evan
Can the administrator remove this post? “This is a —— designated driver service”. Stupid and offensive.
Offended? Really? I’m Polish & I’m laughing my tits off…
@Uh Oh
You’re on this site and worried about stupid and offensive?
That’s how we roll, baby!
Like a couple of idiots.
That shot must have been taken in the UK. They drive backward there.
“replace parts with random household items”…SEND IN PICTURES, PLEASE
Beautiful post…you’ve captured the essence of summer.
Is he driving towards or away from the viewer?
@dono1
dono1, you rock! You have the best comments. Been here for a while and always look forward to your posts. The pun-nier, the funnier!
@peepoopopo
That is the funniest comment I have read in weeks…and I hate that damn show.
@Badgirl
Watch peepoopopo and learn how to create genuine humor.
@Uh Oh
Evan posts a convoluted, tedious, sophomoric comment lacking any comedic value whatsoever, and you are upset he used the word “Polish”?
BTW, I love the way you substituted “–” for “Polish”! Perhaps Mr. Administrator might want to ban other offensive words, such “**” and “xx” and maybe even “++”!
This beats the earlier one of the tuner car with a skateboard under the front wheel! Much sturdier!
@ShermanKent
There is an uproar about calling a picture “photoshopped” yet ignorant racist comments that a crazy jury rig must be “Polish” does not cause any concern. Would you have the same opinion if I tossed out the “N” word or some other racist term?
Due to your ignorance, you and Kittyporn must be “insert derogatory term”….
Way to ruin a good thing, people.
@Uh Oh
Personally, I don’t think Evan’s comment was racist. I think he merely confused Serbia with Poland when noting the origin of the car. And even if that’s not the case, I think you’re making a mountain out of a molehill.
That said, what really bothers me about your contribution o this thread is that you’re replying to a comment placed by an obvious troll.
A troll doesn’t want to speak it’s mind, it doesn’t want to seek like-minded people. What it wants is to validate it’s existence by getting a rise out of people who otherwise wouldn’t even stoop to giving it change on a subway platform.
Please, don’t validate the trolls by treating them as though they were human beings.
@ShermanKent
Ouch.
@Uh Oh
Tossing out the “N” word would cause me just as little concern. You’re on the internet on a site that’s making fun of retarded repair jobs (OH NO! NOW I AM BEING DEROGATORY TO THE MENTALLY HANDICAPPED). If you are that sensitive, you’re in the wrong place.
Also, how is “insert derogatory term” any better than actually saying it? It’s like people that replace curse words with cute-sy words. Either you can express what you want to say without the need for those phrases, or you can’t. Substituting them doesn’t make it any better. We all know what you were thinking.
Anyone ID the white car in the background? Looks kinda neat.
It’s starting to sound like “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” around here.
@Teebo
I was going to say it looks like an ambulance except they usually appear AFTER the accident not in front of it.
@Badgirl
Your humor IS genuine so don’t let anyone discourage you. Besides, this place is like open mike night- there’s always bound to be a heckler or two.
kiss dono, kiss. If I were to watch anyone on here for tips it would be you, the Comment King (gush). When I read ‘Hello Dolly’ earlier today I folded my arms on my desk, put my head down and started laughing. A guy saw me, came in my office and asked me why I was crying. (swear) I could only point to my screen. He didn’t get it……. cuz it’s not the picture, it’s the comments. PS. I loved the chairs falling out the door. You get my vote (gush).
This probably happens so much, the ambos just follow them around!
That white car looks like Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters.
a linky for all of you.
a car with four wheel steering! pretty funny.
I don’t know for certain whether that’s a Ford Fiesta, but I’m sure it’s not a Yugo, or its Fiat counterpart. And that is not how you change a spare.
wow, a seven wheeled cart
This is not Polish or Yogo disign. This is Russian auto “Oka” with Russian sign. Region 66 (last digit) – “Sverdlovskaya oblast” (Ural).
Autor of this foto http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/gitanes2000/view/229994/?page=41
That’s Russia and it’s not Fiat or Ford. It’s the cadaver of russian automarket called Oka, in front of it there’s really ambulance car Volga but from far 70′s
I’m assuming the blue hatch is a front wheel drive… with that in mind; they could have done worse!
In australia that white car would be called a “shaggin’ wagon” (but pronounced so that the shaggin and wagon rhyme.
@ERAL – Er, ignorant American here, but how exactly would you pronounce “shaggin’ wagon” so they *don’t* rhyme?
no we drive on the LEFT. also there are other countries that drive on the left.
I wonder what kind of traction control comes with that option.
My Polish husband is tickled over all the publicity his heritage is recieving. Na zdrowie!
@wind:
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn’t want to offend anybody, it was only a joke. Peace.
Stupid idiots down there. It is no Poland! It is Russia, Saratov Region. The car is OKA, some kind of Russian small car. Look at wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAZ-1111
@badgirl – I agree With dono, your jokes are great
I enjoy this site immensley because of the witty, good natured, and intelligent comments of those like yourself, Paddy,& dono (not excluding, just pointing out a few prime examples)
@Czernobog – Your thoughts on the correct way to respond to Pesky Trolls is right on the mark!
@Teebo – Pretty sure it’s a Mercedes wagon from the 70′s or 80′s.
@ my comment – Spelling & grammar fail. Again.
@Chris
…. neither is the other rear wheel.
Thank you, Rampart. *sniff* I just want everybody to get along. Things turned a little mean on this thread. C’mon guys – group hug!
@Badgirl
Stop that. Everybody clap and whistle, I want to know what you are doing with your hands and mouths. No hugging.
How do you happen to have a movie prop from “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” lying around the house, but no spare tire?
@Daniel – High fives all around? Fist bump? I guess fanny pats are out of the question….
Ain’t that one of those self-propelled railroad carts? If he pumps that handle back and forth once or twice, I guarantee he’ll be the one doing the towing.
This begs the question: what’s more powerful, a 1983 Yugo, or a self-propelled railroad car? We’re about to find out.
If it is in Saratov (Russia) why are they driving on the left?
@Alex Orlov yeah, that’s just the region I live in. It’s pretty fun to see such cars here
But your URL points to just some user’s pics collection, called «Funny pictures». He/she’s not the author
Actually, I think I have worked it out. They are not driving on the left, it is a dual carriageway. Which means they have taken this kludge into the FAST LANE.
Amazing russians!
And as you can see on this model it has the most advanced features including the new all wheel together.
o.O
They had a cart handy, but not a spare?
Russians are awesome ppl
)
it’s NOT a railroad cart thingy, its handle is attached to the front wheels on the cart, think homemade radio flyer.
@ChrisP
Perhaps it’s a one-way lane
I like the idea, but i like more the guy!
@ChrisP
because it’s one way road
this is russia! (RE: this is sparta!)
PUT IT IN H!!!!!
LOL, LOL LOL. Hell to the naw!
For mother RUSSIA !!! (c) RA2
It’s the moment I feel myself proud that I’m Russian!
By the way, it seems like the first car is the ambulance! Notice the typical white colour and white sign in the middle of the roof. Two guys in the blue car requires medical attention for sure!
Russian cars are awesome!!!!
now sporting the latest design in REAL clown tires
Is this one of those spare tires you’re only supposed to drive on for 20 miles?
Hey, am I the only one seeing this??? There had GOT to be a hole to the fuel tank and the *rear end passy* is actually supposed to be adding methane to the tank (gas) and THAT is the only way they could comfortably seat him in his spot!
Tre amuze – very funny.
no, 1 wheel drive
My sweetie Russia…)
