This is a question Bodge Jobs

If you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

I'm not calling you a liar or anything
but you didn't see a car taped to the wall.

It wasn't actually a bad post up until then.
I was beginning to get a bit suspicious when you claimed to have touched a breast but I gave you the benefit of the doubt only for you to ruin it right at the end.

You needn't be so worried that what actually happens to you isn't good enough.
There isn't any need to overegg the pudding with ridiculous claims.

If it can lift a 5000 lb car, it can certainly hold one standing upright.

That's testing the strength of the tape
not the strength of the adhesive.

Actually, it is also testing the strength of the adhesive.
You'll note that the tape comes down the sides of the car and is stuck there, not wrapped around it and tied or anything like that. So it is in fact testing the shear strength of the adhesive as well as the tensile strength of the cloth it's made with- and it was the cloth that failed, not the adhesive.

Slinging the tape over the top of a bar and hanging a car from it is one thing
taping a car to a wall is totally different.
