CAN IT STEER?
Ever wondered if a roll of toilet paper could steer a car? What about a Panasonic flat-screen? Or a bottle of water? Instagram user @dejonsvids has made it his mission to answer those oftenasked questions, with a whole portfolio of videos where the steering wheel is replaced by, well, anything but. He’s confirmed that a roll of TP can steer a car—as can a freshly-sharpened kitchen knife, a plastic clothes hanger, a box of tissue and much, much more.
WE ARE INFINITE
Sometimes it’s not enough to simply crack a window—you’ve got to stick your whole body out the sunroof to truly satisfy the urge for fresh air. Whether you relate or not, someone does, as Ontario police caught a woman cruising at 100 kilometres per hour with her entire body sticking out the sunroof. She stays in the position for the entirety of a 30-second clip posted to Twitter…so we know she wasn’t sneaking a quick fix. All in all, she was charged with not wearing a seatbelt.
STICKY SALESMAN
Back in November 2022, a Brampton, Ontario driver was pulled over in a barely-driveable BMW that appeared to be held together by duct tape and determination. When police questioned why the driver—who had a suspended license, no insurance and six other violations on record—he said he was simply en route to sell his car, so no problems here.
WHEELY BIG
You know what would make a Tesla a whole lot better? 10-foot wagon wheels. The members of YouTube channel WhistlinDiesel clearly felt the same, ‘cause the crew posted a video of a Tesla Model 3 outfitted with 10-foot wagon wheels back in mid-March. The overarching goal of the project was to flip the Tesla completely upside down while maintaining drivability—a feat achieved in the full 13-minute video.
