I've shown you the fabulous and the cute. Now for a dose of reality. There are plenty of cars worse for the wear being driven around in Paris and some of them even belong to people with impressive addresses, wardrobes, and family backgrounds. But this is taking shabby chic to a whole new level. And in fact, the owner of this little car didn't even spring for duct tape; this is plastic strapping tape, the kind you'd use to wrap a package for the post. The back end was in just as bad shape and similarly taped together. But I thought it was the better part of valor not to humiliate the owner by putting a photo of his license plate on the Internet.

fantastic! Extreme DIY...LOL
My daughter's front bumper has been held up by duct tape since she damaged it three days after she bought her car....and that was something like 4 years ago.
The wonders of duct tape...
Love the mirror wrap. I first saw one of these (in pristine condition) a couple of years ago. I like them almost as much as the Smart.
Ha ha -- at first I thought the thing sticking out of the window was a baguette, not a tape-wrapped mirror.
I love the older Paris cars with rubber boat fenders tied to the front, too.
lol. i really appreciate the symmetry of the hood job!
if the brakes work, the car works...
