Top 10 Car Repair Fails
After years of saving up, you have finally bought your first car! But that doesn’t end your expenses … because sooner or later, you will have to cash out to have your car fixed up. USA Today reported that the average age of cars and trucks on the U.S. roads is approximately 10.8 years. But repair costs often will still depend more on the car brand, how you use your car, and unforeseen events (e.g. road hazards and natural disasters).
Due to tight financial situations, some people find the most inexpensive way to repair their car – from using a CD to replace their side mirror to using a flashlight as a headlight. It’s amazing how creative some people can be when it comes to fixing up their car! But remember, you should never try to do any of these ideas with a car rental.

Woah, I had a personal experience sticking band-aids behind the side mirrors. Stupid but, it’s really dangerous driving without those mirrors. Luckily, I’ve reached my destination without having a scratch and got those mirrors repaired. Sometimes, you have this stupidity alertness for safety issues.
