A car is a pretty complicated piece of machinery that very few of us understand and many of us take for granted. The inner workings of an automobile are a mystery to most drivers, and there are plenty of people on the road who can't even change their tire if they need to, let alone figure out what to do when the radiator overheats or the wipers stop spraying fluid. With sophisticated fuel systems, cooling systems, exhaust systems and a computer keeping everything organized and running smoothly, there's a lot that could potentially go wrong inside your car. When you're not sure you can drive to the garage to get things fixed, what happens when things go wrong on the road in the middle of nowhere? When a radiator hose bursts, what can you do? When your fuel line is leaking, and you're miles from civilization, what's the solution?
Now, none of these fixes are permanent — and some of them are a bit risky — but if it is your only hope in an emergency, then maybe using a pair of pantyhose as a fan belt is a good idea. If you think you know your DIY roadside emergency fixes, then take the quiz and show us your stuff.
