My granny always said to me if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all. I do. I do not think it’s tacky. I think it’s cute at least
Well at least the old tub wasn’t hurt.
I hate it when that happens.
Tubs make great water troughs.
Susie- old cast iron bathtubs /toilets are sold in antique stores to be used as above ground flower beds. Not everybody has the same taste – no need to criticize the home owners. Actually the driver was lucky that the tub slowed his vehicle down -otherwise he might have gotten killed
I hope the driver is ok. Prayers for a quick recovery.
Bathtubs belong in the bathroom and not on the lawn (tacky tacky).
