All you need is a friend who will be ready to come to the rescue and get you out. And a tow strap. An indispensable attribute of Japanese street racers - and you can use it in your car! Not only will it help you in case of a breakdown, but it will also add a twist to your car's appearance.

DIY: "Medium, a bit of a brain teaser." Popularity: 23%

Have you ever seen a sports car? Its streamlined shape, wide arches, and wheels protruding from underneath? The truth is that you can easily make your car look like that - install fender flares. They perform several functions at once - they make your car visually wider and also protect the paintwork of your car from dirt and small stones that fly from under the wheels.
