      DIY Car Hacks - Michael Hansen

      Introduction

      So you are now stuck on a top of mountain with ice everywhere and more coming down and you need to get to the bottom and you prefer not to roll off the mountain and killing yourself by rolling off the side of it.  This book will help you understand how to keep yourself safe when bad things happen to your car.  Please remember that this is a guide and it is up to you to be safe and decide if this is for you.  Finally some of these solutions can cause damage to your car, but will keep you as safe as possible.
