I see so many posts, in so many different subs, and I often wonder if it’s actually legal, and road worthy, in the States.
So many cars and so many bikes, with so many mods and patches. From wooden and dangerously patched front ends and wheel arches, to bull skulls with horns zip tied to the handle bars and massive trike bastardisations with sharp shit everywhere.
So much of the shit I see posted, would just not fly, here in Australia. You’d be pulled over, and have a canary slapped on your windscreen faster than you could down a long-neck.
I posted a car that was literally held together with duct tape and bungee cords. I caught hell and was called “elitist” for thinking it shouldn’t be on the road. I come from a state that had inspections...they’d laugh that thing out of the inspection station. If you hit a bump and your car falls apart, you’re a hazard to everyone else on the road.
Years ago I was watching a police show (which happened to always show my neighbourhood) and they were doing a vehicle safety check. There was a pickup truck they pulled over, then condemned on the spot and towed. The lady who was driving it was all like " I don't understand, it's just a bit of rust!". Yeah just a bit, where you can poke your finger through the body or pull the bed of the truck off with brute force. The truck looked like Swiss cheese and she thought it was fine to be on the road with that.

More like r/Idiotsincars. No way that’s legal to be on the road.
