Paysa/Redneck/Jerry Rigged WTF were they thinking Thread?

Ok I know in the past or most recently we've seen or com across some of the most outrageous modifications ever done. Some till this day may even boggle the mind and I was wondering what your experiences were? Here are 2 of mine that I'd like to share.
First one was on my 63 chevy truck and it came with an aftermarket steering wheel. I had been driving the truck already for about 3 months when (god was on my side) all of a sudden when pulling into my drive way my steering seem to have snapped. Pretty much all steering was gone so I had to slam on the brakes and avoid hitting the mail box at the end of the driveway. Honestly I thought I had broken the steering box or something. My first instinct was to check underneath the truck but it was the steering wheel. I pulled off the horn button and turns out the previous owner just tighten the nut as hard as he could and didn't use and adapter that's required. I was furious and who knows how many times I had taken my wife out to local car shows, work, afternoon sunday etc. I tell you god was on my side for letting it happen at home at 10 miles an hour. They guy I bought it from was a mechanic go figure.

The next one was recent and I thought it was funny to see someone modify a seat frame with 2 by 4's. They screwed the two by fours to the cab and used wood screws to bolt the seat to the 2 by fours. The seat bolts never even go through the cab. One good fender bender and my big ass would have flown out with the seat. Did I mention that the seat belts were also screwed into the 2 by 4's. The previous owner needed to lift the seat because he was to short to see over the steering wheel so that was his remedy.
