Spot the Potential Lawsuit 6

I simply cannot be stopped. The Spot the Potential Lawsuit game is just too damn entertaining. Today, I offer you another in the category of vehicular-accidents-waiting-to-happen, also known as if-you-can-weld-it-you-can-drive-it.


What we have here is, well, almost inexplicable. There was once a motorcycle in there somewhere. It morphed into a three-wheel, rear-drive sedan chair with a lovely and practical over-arching canopy frame. And, of course, the previously examined make-do hitch, making possible the tow-along cart.

The whole rig is, indeed, the most ambitious of all the recycle men in the neighborhood. God forbid, a stray dog darts in front of him. It'll be a game of pick-up sticks.

Spot the Potential Lawsuit 3

Thai people, like my kin of New England ancestry, have a can-do attitude. It's not really about DOING much, it's more along the lines of "use it up - wear it out - make do (heard that a lot growing up) - or do without." And, with this in mind, I offer you this week's Potential Lawsuit of the vehicular variety (another vast and limitless category).

I call this one, the "make-do hitch." Old rope, rubber strips cut from some old inner tubing, a little spit ... you know. If duct tape weren't so "spendy," it would be on there for sure. Tapin' that cart right to the damn seat.


Another favorite "make-do" hitch is to sit you wife down on an old rice bag folded around the pull-bar of your cart. Works great, but lose the cart, lose the wife! No fuss. No one's gonna sue you over it, or anything.
