Mechanics Share Daft Things They’ve Seen on the Job

Popcorn bowls to the rescue

Here is another ill-advised customer repair. Once the mechanic saw this one – they had to snap a picture. Home fixes are almost never as good as what a professional would do, hence it is important that you take your vehicle to a professional in the first place.

This customer takes recycling empty popcorn buckets to the next level, using it as a quick fix under the hood of their car. What purpose do you think this person intended the bucket to serve? Whatever it was, I am sure the bowl could not withstand the pressure from the heat a car produces.
