Back in the early 90s I bought a beige colored used Subaru that I loved. About a month after buying it someone hit it, kinda hard, right behind the door. I was struggling financially at the time and since the damage was only cosmetic, I decide to paint POW! (like in those pictures) where the dent was.
My car got more smiles on the road that I could have ever imagined. My wife said THAT had her liking me before she even met me

Lol! Very cool.
Eight years ago my brother in law crunched the rear of his car on a telephone pole, at the yards edge, backing up to leave after a visit. I wanted to put one of those giant band-aids on the car but he sold it immediately. I put the band-aid on the telephone pole for him to see on the next visit. Heh heh heh. Equal amounts of loathing and
amusement...as expected.

They also made ice crushers back in the day.

Oh how I wanted one of those! We always had Sears Spyder bikes ( which we would destroy anyway.)
These were much more fun when you cut the strings.
I had two of those Tapco Mixers along with a Tapco Double EQ and an Acoustic P.A. Power amp and two Acoustic P.A. Speakers.

We cut the string immediately. You cock it, jam the barrel in the dirt, and fire.
