Video shows strange man fill in missing car panels with bricks and cement

Briefly News reported on another bizarre social media post, this time a strange video shows an even stranger man opt to fix his car's body panels with bricks and cement.

The video shows a damaged car pulling up, and a man assesses the damage before packing bricks out and mixing cement.

A car should not be filled with cement and bricks as it will severely change its driving characteristics.

The negatives to the man's actions of filling a body panel with heavy items are increased fuel consumption, uneven weight distribution and compromised body panels.
