Pantyhose Can Be Used As A Fan Belt

First and foremost, if you have any other options (such as calling a tow truck) when your fan belt breaks, you should use them. Saving money isn’t worth the risk of catching fire in your engine. If you’re really stuck, you can use a pair of pantyhose as a fan belt to get you to a gas station or an area with cell service where you can get help.

On Minor Scratches, Apply Nail Polish

It’s usually not worth the money to have your car’s paint professionally repaired if it only has a minor scratch or chip. The disadvantage is that you will be driving around with unsightly blemishes on your vehicle. We’re sure you had no idea you could do it yourself! It only takes a smidgeon of nail polish. If you can reasonably closely match the paint on your car, a little bit of nail polish will hide the scratches well enough that no one will notice them unless they are looking for them.
