This tweaker was proud to show off his Mad Max-Style Nissan Van that has a glass sheet from a coffee table (not legal) as his windshield.
Atlanta resident and TikTok user @Domino2is shared smartphone footage from a local gas station showing the DIY, botched job this tweaker’s done to this Nissan van from the ’90s to keep it running, including a glass pane from a coffee table as his windshield.
Check out his video embedded below.

The incident was filmed at a Circle K/ BP gas station at 100 Lakewood Way SW in Atlanta, GA (exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As OP’s smartphone footage shows, he first starts out by filming this one-of-a-kind Nissan Quest minivan from inside the Circle K convenience store.
Severely damaged on several body panels and missing a hood, and, most importantly, a proper windshield, the owner of this Nissan Quest is likely homeless and doing everything in his power to not only keep his van going, but to protect himself from the elements.
Feeling the owner out and safely approaching, OP films this guy’s van up close.
Here’s what the other side looks like.
Bolted to where a form-fitting windshield normally would be is a single pane of glass which, according to the title, likely comes from a tossed-out coffee table.
“This man got this s*** all the way f***ed up,” OP says to the camera.
“It’s just a project,” you can hear the man reply.
While this is not road-legal, it’s likely this guy’s “riding dirty,” as they say.
Georgia also doesn’t have state inspections of any kind to register your vehicle.
Regardless, it’s a violation of Georgia’s vehicle code to use anything other than safety glass to replace a windshield.
It’s likely an infraction of some kind, with violators subject to some kind of monetary fine.
A windshield, however, is the least of this guy’s/van’s problems; it’s just plain not road-worthy and a hazard to drivers around him.
