Most Unsafe Car Ever?
Is This The Most Unsafe Car Of All Time?Never mind the fact that this is a Ford Pinto, a car that has been plagued by safety issues throughout its life, most notably a serious rear fire hazard. No, it's the incredible state of disarray that this Pinto was found in that makes it perhaps the most unsafe car we have ever come across.
The driver of the Pinto (yes, it drives) was pulled over by a Minnesota State Trooper and was cited for unsafe equipment and driving without a license. The car was then impounded.
Click the link and look through the pics. This is incredible.*************************"It wouldn't take much for me to up and run...to another life somewhere in the sun."

Nah, the car is just showing a little bit of what they call "Patina." Looks something like my old 92 Ford Ranger I finally gave up this past January.

Whats the Problem. The Pinto was in fact very unsafe and had a high likelihood of fire from rear end collisions. This driver has eliminated the problem all together. and the state should pay him look what the salt on the roads of Minnesota has done to his poor car.

Heck, that's a typical car around here...

If there had been a 5 gallon bucket for a drivers seat it would have been perfect.

Five gallon bucket might have been too high. I vote for a plastic lawn chair with the legs cut down, mounted on 1x4 boards to span the gap in the floor. Originally Posted by lewisipso

I was stuck in an old pinto for a few months once, I had to hold the driver's seat up with a PR-24. The guy must have a PhD in Redneck Repair, though!

I showed my dad these pics. He was impressed with the level of desperate genius behind this. Especially the gas tank.
