MacGyver-esque--or MacGruber-esque--headlight hack

By Rain Noe - January 26, 2010

Spotted this morning outside the Core offices: What to do when your Ford gets smashed up and the all-important headlights are a casualty?

Simple: Get some packing tape, and not one, but two Ray-o-Vac-style flashlights and jam those suckers up in there.

It may be difficult to tell from the photos, but MacG here left two carefully-placed slits in the tape, above and below the flashlights, to access the on-button.

Two things come to mind...

http://thereifixedit.com/ - about a billion other similar images... most hilarious (possibly already reported on Core...)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF8uL16Uurg - The horrendous trailer for the upcoming macgruber flick... when will Lorne Michaels learn you can't take every SNL character and make a movie out of it!

My former housemate snapped these photos a couple of years ago, outside our apartment in Pittsburgh... A similar, but perhaps even more hasty, Rayovac Hack.
