A farmer in Hooper, Utah built a fence out of old cars! Homeowners in a new subdivision were complaining about farming activities and the smell, but the neighbor who adjoins his property wouldn’t help pay for a fence, so he built one from the material he had.

Creator Rhett Davis calls it his “Redneck Stonehenge.” It’s not that he doesn’t like his neighbors, he’s just not sure they understand him and his kind.

What used to be farmland is now filling up with subdivisions. “The unique community coming in, I don’t think they’re used to the farm life,” Davis said. “I think the residential is starting to overpower the farmer.”

A neighbor in one house complained about flies and smells and dust. The neighbor wouldn’t pay half the cost of a fence, Davis says, so he built one himself with a Ford and two Toyotas stuck grill-first into the dirt.

“I kinda like them. I thought about putting Christmas lights on them,” he said.

When Nicolas Nova of Pasta&Vinegar blog was doing an ethnographical research about game controllers, he ran into this beauty: a redneck contraption for racing simulations!

How to turn a chair into a speedy car-simulation seat where the player seats on the back, spread the leg and pump pedals to the maximum.

A very intriguing made-up controller for car simulation that reveals how people tend to modify devices to their convenience. The creative use of duct-tape to enhance the digital experience is interesting to document as a way to find out opportunities to design both physical peripherals and digital counterparts.
