Machines, just like humans, need to be checked periodically, both to ensure that time doesn't wear them out excessively and because it's good to always maintain a certain level of safety. In the car you don't mess around: maintenance is essential! Still, there are people who come to the mechanic with the most absurd problems and the most unlikely situations, such as, for example, animals hidden in the engine compartment or very imaginative do-it-yourself repairs, who's vehicles would never pass a revision. In this article we have collected a series of photos depicting unlikely situations, faced with which most mechanics would be tearing their hair out. How can you reduce your car to this? One wonders, in fact!

Admit it: how many of you leave the car interior tidy? Unless the car is new and still smelling of the dealership, or you are a real order freak, the vast majority of motorists are used to leaving papers, pens and receipts everywhere. After a while, the cockpit becomes a receptacle for garbage! Of course, some, such as the owner of this car in the picture, seem to go beyond the limits of decency! 

7. "He said he didn't have a spare tire and drove around for 3 days like this! I found the spare in his trunk, complete with the jack!"

For extreme problems, extreme remedies: sure, in this case it seems vaguely dangerous and particularly inefficient as a solution, but the effort is certainly appreciable!
