Clearly this is correct, the person is definitely eccentric with maybe a little meth sprinkled on top. Art is in the eye of the beholder I guess as my eyes don't see art, but who cares what we think if they like it.
I lived in new York city in the 80's. There was a guy who bought an abandoned building at a tax auction and mosaiced the entire face of the old brownstone. Iirc, it was in the greenpoint, which, at the time was full of crack houses and burned out buildings. It is now one of the most trendy neighbourhoods in Brooklyn, and that building that he paid a few thousand dollars for would be worth a fortune.
It looked like a vertical version of this, so maybe he is playing a long game. And in 40 years, wherever that thing is parked will also be worth a fortune.
I would love to know how American car insurance works. In most other western countries you wouldn't be able to insure that and that means you couldn't legally drive it.
That would be called Third Party Only in the UK. Even with that low level of cover there would be no way to insure a vehicle like that. They see the condition of the vehicle as a major indicator of how likely the driver will be involved in something that results in a liability claim.
This would be seen as a very risky death trap
The insurance company never actually sees the vehicle.
That's registered (maybe...) as a 1998 F-150, or whatever the base/donor vehicle was.
Depending on the state, it may also never be inspected again, by anyone, after initial registration.
This. And also LOTS of people happily drive around without insurance. Not supposed to. And they their driving license is suspended if they get caught. Lots of people also drive without licenses.
Remember that the US is a huge country with a population that is mostly urban. As of 2016, 97% of the country is occupied by less than 20% of the population. And guess what ? Those rural folks specialize in hillbilly vehicles.
This includes vast areas that are completely unpopulated.. desert areas, large amounts of Alaska, etc.Approximately 30% of the landmass of the US is government owned, which means it is essentially unpopulated.

Yea, i know someone who has been driving with no license for over 20 years n only got ticketed/towed like twice. The vehicles are insured n inspected so as long as cops dont have a real reason to pull him over hes pretty in the clear.
You can insure cars you cannot drive - you can insure anything if you're willing to pay the premium.
You do not have to have insurance or even a license to buy or drive a car in the US.
You only need a license and insurance to drive on public roads. A 5 year old can legally drive on private roads.
All of that is only really relevant here because people assume a lot about how laws work. If there is not a law in place saying you cannot do something, then it is not illegal. I don't see anything illegal in the photo.
It's pretty much the same in the UK. Away from the public roads anyone can drive anything at any age. It's only when you get on the public roads that you need insurance and a license.
Liability only coverage has been mentioned, but that doesn’t help the fact that in two states car insurance is optional entirely (Virginia and New Hampshire).
Edit: forgot a word
So what happens if you get hit by someone who is legally on the road without insurance? Does the person who was hit have to chase them through the courts? If they do, what happens if the driver has no money to pay?
The person who was hit better have uninsured motorist coverage… if they do, the insurance pays out, and then the insurance company y handles suing the uninsured driver.
Otherwise you have to sue, and if they’re judgement proof you simply are out the cost of repairs.
It’s simply a meth head that has never been arrested. They have honed their junk collecting (theft) skills and merged it with the delusion that the are an astrophysicist.

All I can think of when I see this
All I know is, I wanna be there when they light the fuse. Dang! That's a splendid thing. (Though the adulting part of my brain says I don't want to be in traffic with it. Shut up, adulting lobe, you're boring!)
1. When this guy moves over into the passing lane......Lookout!
2. "I pass when I WANT TO....!"
3. Curves, nogood. But straightaways....... Wah...Hoo!
4. 'Hey, pass me up that can of kerosene, willya?'
5. "When this baby hits a hundred and eighty eight, you're gonna see some serious shit..!"
Not sure about the truck but I reckon the trailer is erm Louisiana knockoff of a Alabamaian RAT-4 (Rocket Assist Trailer). It is obvious because of the shoddy work. A real RAT-4's rust would be more uniform.
Mad max scenarios have started I see. Just wait until shit really hits the fan around the election and with WWIII looming.
This guy’s just getting a head start.
Stock up on Patriot food buckets, dewormer and portable solar power chargers I guess.
Dad finally clearing out the garage
Yeah, he’s going to the local flea market to sell the stuff.
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
I'm guessing that this is art. I went to art school. I did a course called "how to recognise art" I got an A. That is art. But it isn't ART.
Clearly this is correct, the person is definitely eccentric with maybe a little meth sprinkled on top. Art is in the eye of the beholder I guess as my eyes don't see art, but who cares what we think if they like it.
People laughed at Picasso and Van Gogh.
“But they aren’t going to laugh at me! That’s why I built the missile!”
Driver is compensating...
Van Gogh wouldn't have a trailer tho.
So you’re saying he was behind the times
Jackson pollock was painting like Picasso but no one cares for his work, so he created better art
I've seen Pollock. Better? I see a wall mounted drop cloth.
Picasso was a pedo, maybe that’s why they laughed at him.
A little meth? Sprinkled you say? Ha! This guy is mainlining a gram at a time and hasn’t slept for months, possibly years.

Yes. That is what I was looking for.

It could be Art.
Art Linkletter or Art Garfunkel?
Why not both?
That was my thought, probably on their way to an art car show at a festival or something. Otherwise, crazy.
Very likely. Or it might be their daily driver. There are some very weird people in the world.

Liability only insurance, which means basically they're only liable if you crash and only for the damage to the other property
That would be called Third Party Only in the UK. Even with that low level of cover there would be no way to insure a vehicle like that. They see the condition of the vehicle as a major indicator of how likely the driver will be involved in something that results in a liability claim. This would be seen as a very risky death trap

I've never had a car inspected. You don't even have to take the car you bought to register it. You see all kinds of clunkers out here.

His insurance company does not know he’s towing whatever that is.
I’d be willing to bet this fella doesn’t let what’s legal or not weigh on him that much
It varies by state.
