Yeah, I’ve patched a whole engine with a grocery bag and a rubber band – the bag holds the oil until the drain plug is fixed, and the rubber band keeps the plug from spinning when you tighten it with a screwdriver. For a quick light fix, slide a small jar of WD‑40 over a cracked headlamp glass; it seals the crack and the glass stays in place until you replace it. And if you’re running low on a spare part, cut a strip of an old seat belt, bend it into a makeshift clamp, and use it to hold a broken door latch until you get the proper hardware. Nothing says “epic hack” quite like turning everyday items into temporary automotive miracles.

You’re basically the Houdini of the garage—just keep a toolbox full of IKEA screws and a bag of flour and you’ll have a bumper ready in no time. Maybe add a chapter on “Why the real parts are still cheaper than the art project” for balance.
