The early days of the sport of automobile tether ball.
I had a hard time finding the car. It is very well hidden below the carpet!!!
I wonder if this is the same guy who put the box under the doormat.
Yes this will totally work!
Maybe he’s trying to tie down the tree with a 2500 pound car?
more redundancy in this thread?
Maybe he’s tying down the rope to the car and the tree…
so the rope wouldn’t fly away
I have to say, this contraption isnt a bad idea. What else can you do with your car during a hurricane other than turning it into a tree-car nunchuck death machine. Just make sure you are by the windows to see it take off.
Safety tip: best idea to keep the windows open so that it doesn’t shatter in your face.
Have a safe hurricane everyone!

IMO he wants to make sure his carpet doesn’t blow away.
Yes, but is this the before or after pic?
What car?
*Laughs out loud* Tied to a tree and covered with a rug! I can’t help but wonder if they did the same thing to their HOUSE!
Well, it likely is on wheels too……..
*Laughs out loud* Sure wouldn’t surprise me!
Dam, if i didn’t know any better, i’d say this picture was taken from a yard in L.A. (Lower Alabama)
Knowing any better fail.
this isn’t actually too bad, if the place floods the car being tied to the tree will prevent it from being swept away and slamming into anything else (the house) and even though it would be flooded the car can still be salvaged for parts. The carpet is a poor attempt to prevent flying debris from breaking the windows, but a possible deterrent none the less.
Snobbery win
HAHAHAHAHAHA
The house is tied to the family – and the dog is tired to his leash I am sure!
My dog is tired to his leash, too, but that’s the law for ya.
Some say the car is tyred, but that’s the English for ya.
Tired? As am I… lol
Cool! Tie the car to the tree so the tree knows exactly which way to fall when the hurricane blows it down! I should have tried that a few weeks ago when Ike came into Houston!

“Hey there Cousin Jim, What cha Doin’?
“Ahm a Tryin’ that new fangled Kite Car conversion that Uncle Donald swapped me?”
“…”
“See y’all tie yer kite/car to a good ol’ tree and then sit back and waits fer yer hurricane.”
*Grabs another Beer*
“Uhh, how long ya bin waitin fer Jim?”
“Why?”
“Uncle Donald died in 1994.”
.
Soft Top! And the gardenhose is a nice addition to any racy car look.
Fail? I’m sure this would work perfectly. =]
Yeah – Unless I’m missing something this looks full of win…
… unless you assume that the wind is going to blow the tree down.
Maybe they want to hold the tree down
Maybe, maybe the car is there to hold the tree down and not the other way around.
Fail – That was exactly what you just said.
Maybe if I rearrange this sentence people will think I’ve had an original thought.
Haha now my comment is the one that’s redundant. Damn..
Maybe if people rearrange this sentence I will think I’ve had an original thought.
Maybe if we start to rearrange our sentences, it could be called postmodernism.
In Soviet Russia, sentence rearranges YOU!
*smacks self with halibut*
I didn’t know Soviet Russia had hurricanes.
I didn’t know hurricanes had Soviet Russia.
I didn’t know Russia had Soviet hurricanes.
Mmmmmmm…hurricanes.
*runs to the store for some rum and ice*
*pouts*
Can you make me one seven weeks from now?
I dunno… If you’re not wandering around with it in a plastic cup listening to random jazz on the street, it’s not really the same.
Hee…that, in fact, is the ONLY time I have ever had a hurricane.
*vows to make Sara J the best hurricane ever after the bunbun makes his apearance*
*clears her dance card*
That reminds me of my old geography textbook. It was a picture of a hurricane, and someone drew a penis in the eye of the hurricane and said “My dick is so large I can screw a hurricane.” Maturity fail?
Either that or an endowment win.
Fetish WIN?
That would be a pretty big dick right there.
Forget godzilla, Beware of the Endowment from Hell!
Mmmm. Who doesn’t like to f**k abnormal weather patterns?
Hurricane Katrina was such a $lut…she screwed over people in three states!
Epic win!
Why are all Hurricanes Female?
Because when they come they are wet and wild – and when they leave they take your house, your car…
You’ve never heard of Hurricane Ivan, Hurricane George, or Hurricane Andrew? (Just to name a few with male names.)
They are all now transexual. Fact.
How do they know this is for a hurricane? It might be a way to stop burgulary. As for the carpet – perhaps a failed attempt at a convertable conversion?
Beren’s joke failed. Aww.
He doesn’t have the proper appreciation for the fairer sex.
*sniffs*
It’s ok I made another worse one at the top of the thread to take peoples attention away from this one. No-one will notice this one now as long as I don’t draw any attention to it…
POB – I don’t you think that you have the proper appreciation of the power of the fairer sex when scorned!
Fact!
That wasn’t supposed to go there…
Look – there was someone trying to appreciate my joke! Honest.
^^ unintended placement win!
*laughs awkwardly.*
*Hugs and gushes with thanks at the praise*
“You love me! You really, really love me!”
Eew, someone’s gushing again. *fetches some tissues*
Of course all hurricanes are girls. Did you ever hear of a “him-icane”?
(Thank you, “Highlights for Children”)
Vodka in lieu of rum?
Yeah, doesn’t work.

Seven hours late, but you spelled it correctly.
This is an attempt to keep Boudreaux and Thibodeaux at the house next time they wanna take a “magic carpet ride”!
Laissez les bon temps rouler, cha’… around and around and around.
Wow, another Boudreaux and Thibodeaux fan!
Thibodeaux: Boudreaux, did you get the parrot I sent you for your birthday?
Boudreaux: Yes, it was good!
Thibodeaux: You ate the bird!
Boudreaux: Of Course I ate it.
Thibodeaux: That bird spoke five different languages!
Boudreaux: Then he should have said something.
So that makes the tree have more value than the car.
That might work if the tree doesn’t go with it, which I expect it woukd.
Great Minds and all that – we had the same thought and typed it at the same time…
Scary. :O
Might have worked if they actually used something other than a garden hose attached to the car in a way that wouldn’t destroy it if there was enough force to actually move the car.
Being an engineer makes me sad because I have no hope.
Don’t be sad. Keep hope alive!
Not pictured is the beer case mailbox.
Also not picture the redneck son learning to drive the car. After circling the tree for 10 minutes he had to go to puke elsewhere
After going around in circles for 10 minutes, he then proceeded to vote for McCain.
Conveniently, the election was at his elementary school…
Since at 21 he was still in 6th grade.
At least it wasn’t at the graveyard – How many dead voters will it take for the Republicans to win?
I thought the majority of their base was dead?…
*Narrows Eyes*
.
..
I see what you did there.
Versus the majority of Obama’s Base being Brain Dead?
At least he and his running mate are not.
Yeah, just mentally handicapped…
Why are you bringing up Sarah Palin? They were talking about Obama and Biden.
Hey, mental illness doesn’t run in her family…
Really? Then she hasn’t been evaluated yet?
Ida know, I’m no head doc
I should just say that I would rather have her than Obama or McCain for president.
Have YOU been evaluated?
Aww, I’m really disappointed in you Avis, I was sure it would take less than a minute for you to call my sanity into question.
Trolling is fun!
(even though that is what I really think)
No one’s buying that “thinking” part.
Why think when you can just regurgitate talking points?
Who’s regurgitating?
I’m just sitting here enjoying all the frustration and angst caused by my simple comment above.
It is rather entertaining.
Say it ain’t so, cobrajoe!
Can’t say I see much frustration and angst here.
Abject disbelief, sure. Questioning your sanity, certainly. But that’s about it.
Trolling. Ur doin’ it wrong.
You must have a field day watching grass grow.
You must be ecstatic when you get to watch paint dry.
whoa, two hours hold on that first comment of the pair.
Failblog must not like the word “grass”
They’re dating themselves a smidge.
*sigh* I’m SO tired of dating myself. I wish someone else would date me for a change.
Dates are in the genus Phoenix.
Mental illness doesn’t run in her family, maybe. But in her…. Well, that’s another story.
How to build a Round Pen on a budget, for training your vehicle ….

(But if you’re having a problem, you should always ask “why.” Why does my car not want to be caught? Is it because every time you catch your car it means he has to go to work? Does he know he is going to be separated from his NASCAR buddies and would rather stay with them? Does he have an oil leak that needs taking care of and when you catch him, he knows discomfort will follow?…)
They always bite when the mechanic takes their oil temperature in the ass.
Actually, I don’t think this vehicle owner knows his ass from a honkey.
The Horsepower Whisperer. ^
I woulda thought that any wind strong enough to blow a car away woulda taken the tree long before.
Unless the guy is actually trying to stop the tree getting away…?
Or… just maybe…. the rope would break.
It kind of looks like garden hose rather than rope. But then, the picture quality is not all that great.
if it’s a garden hose, it’s definate win.. If the car starts to blow away, it will spring back… LOL
Definitely that is a Garden Hose, (note the color and thickness).
Which makes this all the more an insanely puzzling picture. Had it not been captioned to predispose us to guessing at the original motivation; we could speculate endlessly on the mental process that produced it.
[*Thought* If there were only a pig or a goat in the picture it would make perfect sense!]
water, not wind
Well, that explains the garden hose completely!
Stay tree! Stay! NO! Staaay! Good boy!
Driver’s training for rednecks…
First ‘First!’!
Well, I do admit, that was original, yet, I was hoping for 10 minutes without someone yelping “first.” That totally failed, I see.
Not work? Yelp!
Help! Not work!!
Not Help? Work!
At least he took the air conditioning unit out of the window.
I’m not sure what this person thinks the Oriental rug on top of the car is going to do to help.
Those things are just so damned durable!
Well, you don’t know what we can find
Why don’t you come with me little girl …
*rocks dilly like a magic carpet ride*
I’ll come with you, baby, just untie this hose so I can get free of the tree…
Sure thing, babe, just as soon as it rubs the lotion on its skin…
It does this whenever it is told, I know.
Just steal his dog, dilly. Then you’ll have him in the palm of your hand!
*puts Precious in the bucket*
Sneaky little hobbitses. ^^
That’s how warped I am, fuzz thinks of LOTR, I think Silence of the Lambs.
That’s right, my mind identifies with fantasy psychotics — not fictional ones.
No, fuzz knew EXACTLY what he was doing with that hose and lotion.
We begin by coveting what we see every day. Don’t you feel eyes moving over your body, Clarice? We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Wicked, tricksy, false!
Dude, I’m still tied to the tree.
Oh yeah … no wait … I mean …
Godamnit, woman! It’s a hurricane! I’m waiting for the wind! Then I’ll take your butt to the beach and get us a changing room and put lotion on it and make you fit to be tied on a blanket.
Correction: rugs are Asian. People are Oriental. That’s what my grandma thinks, anyway.
And State Your Name thinks carpets are for car pets.
And you drive on a parkway, but park on a driveway.
Shouldn’t the rug be soft-side down? The undersides of rugs, particularly cheap ones, can be scratchy. And I would have figured that the thought process (?) that went into this was to keep the vehicle from getting scratched.
It’s to keep the air from getting scratched then the vehicle gets off the ground.
The owners are going to use the car to get on and off the roof when the flood waters rise.

“Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job.”
Ah now, you should know better than to apply logic to anything related to this site!
The thought process as I see it:
I am too drunk for driving… (drinks beer)… I better tie the car to a tree (drinks beer)… where is my home?… (drinks beer)… No problem, I will sleep on the car… (drinks beer)… I will put a carpet on the top so it covers the windows and the morning light do not wake me (drinks beer)… what a f***ing genius I am!!!
Ahhh Finally I understand why it is a fail!
I think the rug is there so that the rope doesn’t scratch the car.. or something..
oh dang, Avis just said that.
a big rug shaped patch where there are no scratches from debris
A big rug shaped patch where there is scratches from the rug.
*stage whispers* pssst…… it’s are.
Nope, it’s “is”
Just one giagantuous scratch, continuous throughoutall, and magnifivalent in it’s completitude
So the plural you used for scratch was the error?
Actually, it’s just a typo. It should have read:
“… where there is scratch is from the rug.”
Does it make sense now?
It keeps the tree from scratching it once it falls of course!
This looks like win. Put a recliner on the top and attach it and put a brick on the accelerator and you have yourself a cheap carnival ride, hit the brakes and launch the kid off the chair and into some pillows, or a pile of gravel whatever you have…
…and into a steel I-beam?
I’ve seen car-bras before, is this the first vehicle merkin? And it’s tied down so no one steals it?
Since the rug looks like it cost more than the car, you may be right.
Vehicle merkin? I got a good laugh from that. You WIN, ma’am.
*googles merkin*
*barfs*
Sorry ’bout that.
LOL w/ Sara. I had to Google it too
You’re all so far behind in the world of pubic topiary!
“Ma fellow ‘merkins…”
I don’t know if I should brag or apologize that I didn’t have to google that…
Little bitta both, Dragon. And to be fair, I had an idea of what it was… I just needed to make sure. I didn’t need the pictures, though, when a description would have sufficed. Thanks a lot, Google. I’ll never get THOSE images out of my head.
*googles purely to see the pictures*
I don’t see what’s so shocking? Unless you were severely sheltered as a child.
Um…you’ve heard about her mum, right? About the infamous “wedding night talk”??
Ohhh yeah, I’d forgotten about that!
*retracts comment*
I remember way back when, when somebody called every American a pubic wig. Good times, those were.
The most terrifying picture was simply an unworn merkin. There’s something incredibly creepy about a disembodied pubic patch.
I wonder if InivisiWigs sells merkins.
InvisiWigs*
I, I, I!
Merkins were already discussed on the invisiwigs fail
LOL Merkin = NSFW google images result
Thankfully I already knew that!
hm i would prefer the same method to make my car hurricane proof…
maybe the hurricane hit the car not directly, so it is perfekt.
anti hurrican system WIN imho!
We have to do that, our car tries to get at the mailman otherwise. It’s a Rover.
Car = Pet?
Ohhhh, hence the carpet! See? PERFECTLY logical. Ahem.
What we’re seeing here is actually a cunning trap to catch trespassers. Whilst trying to take a shortcut across garden they will unwittingly trip on the hose and pull the tree down on top of them. The vehicle-merkin’s there to stop the tree scratching the car’s paintwork (and also to make it look seksy).
If this is the smart guy in the neighborhood, I fear for the rest of the community!
I agree, but I’m pretty sure the rug is there to hide this clever system…
I think it’s also the guy who has a sponge for a windshield wiper. But hey, it’s gotta be better than nothing.
The car makes too much noise when it sleeps in the house.
That’s almost funny enough for me to forget you being a total tosser a while back.
.
..
Almost.
Thanks for the reminder
He thought his tree might need company so he parked his car there. Then he thought his car might need sexy, so he bought it something sexy (right?).
The sexiness of the car ultimately led to the marriage of the two – the ceremonial marriage hose can be seen.
We already know all about the birds and the bees (and the cars and the trees)!
I know about nests within nests, but birds with trees? My mental age is 4, I am I I big?!
I SUBMITTED THIS SO DAMN LONG AGO WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?
WHY DID SOMEONE ELSE GET THE CREDIT?
Did you print “FAIL!!!1″ clearly?
sneaky like!
PREPAREDNESS ?(!)
Umm – is Preparation not a word anymore?
Preparation is more commonly the act of getting prepared. Preparedness is the state of being prepared. Though preparation can be used as the state of being prepared, preparedness is exclusively used in this way.
LOL!
black people are funny
and white trash isn’t…
no they are funny too.
I know one white-male who’s way funnier
I know one white male funnier than any black man, living or dead
I have to say, this is probably a perfect setup if you’re worried about flooding, though the rope may have been a little thin. Cars can get washed away rather easily with enough water.
I bet the rug was there to protect the paint.
Guys, Gals, We’re missing the big point here.
What kind of car is that?
IDK, a Buick?
Oldsmobile Toronado
Ford Escape?
It’s Tie-made I think.
Funny comment win all wrapped up in a nesting fail.
It’s good that it isn’t tied to a tree and wrapped in a blanket.
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAA
Hurricane insurance salesman?
This was in or around Galveston just before Ike hit. The guy didn’t want his car to fly away, it totally would have too. People found cars completely buried in sand, in completely different places after the storm. I don’t blame him for using a hose, it may have been all they had, at the time, stores were out of basically everything, including rope… I bet this guy still has his car. Even if his house blew away.
If this was Galveston, that probably was his house.
General English fail? Preparedness?
hmm…too bad…wasted a perfectly good rug
The tree is worth it
You’re all missing the point…it’s the HOSE he’s trying to tie down. It’s anchored to the car and the tree.
Do you mean “Preparation Fail”?
You just failed the fail…
I would say this is a win.
Why is this fail? if the rope is strong enough its a good may to achor a car. And the rug is clearly there to stop the rope damaging the car!
Stop, think, then post. Anchoring a car to a tree isn’t a horrible idea, but take a closer look…
That’s not a rope, that’s a GARDEN HOSE.
Also, if there were any force strong enough to pull the car off the ground, there would be more force than the hose could hold, but if it did hold, there would be a large amount of damage caused by the rope because it is TIED AROUND THE ROOF and not to the frame. Also, if the rope holds, there is no guarantee that the car won’t flip over or be damaged in any other way.
Another fail? Hurricanes have also been known to KNOCK OVER TREES.
I know you’re wondering, what is the smart way to anchor down a car? I would recommend a large concrete slab, four anchor points, and short pieces of chain to each corner of the car’s frame. There would be no trees, no flipping of the car, no possibility of the car ending up on it’s roof. You would only have to worry about hail and debris…
You can’t possibly tell that that is a garden hose! Just because it’s green does not mean that it must be a garden hose. If you look more closely at the tree you will see it is actually very large. Most trees that are blown over are much smaller. A concrete slab would not have as strong of a hold than that tree.
That’s not a fail!! Actually that’s quite good!
(see above)
…it really wouldn’t surprise me if the picture was taken in Florida.
Or even in the city where I’m living (for now).
duplicate fail
You don’t know that it didn’t work.
I can’t help but give them credit for this. I know it looks stupid, but it may just work. They thought through enough to wrap the car in a rug as to not scratch the paint. There was SOME thought to this.
you know you are a red neck……
Is that a hypnotic suggestion?!
WOW! This is amazing!
wow dude, wow.
ive come to terms people are stupid but images like these reconfirm or reinforce how disturbingly moronic and thickheaded some peoples thought processes are
PWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
this is so ghetto.
we got a mcgyver on our hands here. get me a carpet and some hose and i bet i can keep that car in place.
the farther you get away from the coast the more retarded you get
Preparedness?
Litteracy Fail.
it should say “Hurricane Preparation”
my idea is the same concept. except i was gonna use an extension cord.
mega lol1
