The Midnight Mechanic

Are you out of work? Do you have money to invest/burn on some hair-brained scheme? Do you have two hands? Can you see in the dark? Are you alive? Do you own a swimsuit? If you answered any of these questions, we have an opportunity for you…become your town’s Midnight Mechanic.

Everyone knows how inconvenient it is to get an oil change done for your car, yet alone getting your car serviced. No-one likes that impotent feeling of not having your wheels available to you and this is where the Midnight Mechanic comes in.

The Midnight Mechanic goes to peoples’ homes after the hours of midnight, services their cars discreetly, (except for power tool noise) and is essentially a totally mobile mechanic’s garage which can try to do any job.

The Midnight Mechanic is equipped with just about anything he might need to repair your car and he will try (and most likely fail) to fix it. People no longer have to worry about visiting the dealership for a service anymore…you simply call the Midnight Mechanic. Everybody wins!!

For a one time franchise fee we will supply you with:

  • a custom 24 wheeler rig (with your name and your woman’s/old man’s name on the windscreen)
  • a supply of all kinds of impressive looking replacement parts – nuts, bolts, tires, engines etc.
  • a simple manual on how to fix stuff, complete with car section
  • a whole bunch of super charged power-tools
  • a helmet
  • a really loud air-horn for your rig
  • a powder blue, kick-ass winter uniform
  • a second-hand fluorescent light fixture
  • a small purple elephant
  • a mustard yellow, insulated spacesuit
  • a selection of tasteless bumper-stickers like “honk if you think I’m a w@nker”
  • Midnight Mechanic branded head-band and flip-flop set

Being an official Midnight Mechanic in your town will bring many perks and benefits…

  • Enjoy those envious looks as people observe you in your official looking uniform.
  • Garner the respect of friends and relatives as you shamelessly parade around in your enormous 24 wheeler rig
  • Look like a rockstar mechanic.
  • Shamelessly blow your air-horn, pissing everyone off.
  • Make extra money by working during the day.
  • Great as a part-time/full-time job for old people, infants and students.
  • Be a role model to children and purveyor of the Great American Dream to all.
  • Pull chicks/dudes

Testimonials about Midnight Mechanics:

“He kept me up all night and totally fucked my car! In fact I have never driven my car since, but what a convenient service.” Steve Stephenson. (Buffalo, USA)

“Two thumbs way up for the Midnight Mechanic!” Siskel and Roeper (NYC, USA)

Yes that’s right just in time for the Grand Slam tennis season, we here at Stupid Business Ideas are about to unleash another absolute corker on the unsuspecting world!

It is tradition at Wimbledon, the All England Tennis Club, for the tournament to sell tennis balls, used in previous matches, to paying customers. People seem to love the idea that a top player or mediocre player, noone has ever heard of, might have handled their newly purchased balls. With this in mind, our ingenious plan is to attend the first few days of the tournament and during matches, throw loads of balls onto the court while rallies are in progress. Obviously, this will make for some confused and grumpy players and officials but we will be smiling broadly and laughing as we go. The Powers that be will (hopefully) assume that the balls arriving without invitation on the courts are balls that they have sold to the public. This is where the plan takes shape so standby…clearly the All England Tennis Club will not tolerate foreign balls arriving on court willy-nilly during matches, so they will be forced to ban sales of their previously used balls to maintain the dignity of the tournament and prevent further disruptions to matches.

The day after the ban, as people walk up to the entry gates they will be greeted by two eye-catching stalls offering previously used balls from Wimbledon for sale at a highly inflated rate. Now this is the crafty part…the balls we sell will not actually be balls from the tournament but will in fact be balls purchased for very little at ASDA. Before anyone is aware of “the great tennis ball swindle” the last volley of the tournament will have been struck and we will be sitting in McDonalds supersizing our Big Mac meals and counting our money. The plan is fool proof and we may licence it for use at other tournaments around the world assuming they sell their used balls.

Thank you

We’ve had this really great idea – a website filled with stupid business ideas.

If we can’t come up with enough to fill the blog (and on recent performance that shouldn’t be a problem) we’ll just write up those gazillions of really stupid business ideas that are out there already.

Our first stupid business idea is to set up a whole range of stupid business idea websites. So if you don’t like stupid business ideas, try awful business ideas or silly business ideas or any of the other sites from our list below…

Thank you
