Default Bubba


Bubba's wires match the wiring diagram for a 1937 Packard

[QUOTE=UnintendedVettenancy;1595646231]I really enjoy the threads that everyone contributes to (What did you do, What broke, etc.) not just for the entertainment, but I learn a lot from those too. While working on my car last week and correcting some of Bubba's handiwork, I thought "Why not a thread for the Bubbafication we find on our cars and what we do to remedy said Bubbafication."


My Bubba thought he was an electrician. This is the rat's nest of cut, spliced and missing wires I removed from behind the dash when Bubba installed his radio and tried to fix the gauges.

Man, I am completely OCD about my stuff but when I was racing I saw so many bikes held together with zip ties and duct tape *shudder*

I had a friend that was so bad (no idea how any of his 'projects' never exploded) I actually made up stickers for his favorite that read "dumpster fire". Still there today =)

Lookee here, I don't have a dog in this hunt, but..... In Texas, incorrect use of "Bubba" might lead to a good 'ol fashioned fist fight. When Texas friends call each other Bubba. it's a term of acceptance, friendship, good natured fun. A total stranger calling a Texan Bubba is extremely risky business. Most of us Bubbas know that the word has taken on a dual meaning and we totally understand that and often use it ourselves when referring to bewildering repairs and or dubious construction. As my good friend Bubba Eugene Earl might say, "it's nothing cold beer and a plate of enchiladas won't fix."
