Big Repair Bill! Need Help

I heard a noise so I took my 2005 Pontiac Vibe AWD to the local auto shop. Have had work done there before and tend to trust them.

Re: Painting wheels

My cousin has a sandblaster and so he is going to sandblast them when it is warmer. I want to paint a design on the wheels so I don't have to put the wheel covers back on. Any easy but cool designs to put on some wheels.

Stuck in snow and can't get out

Hi I'm new to this and yesterday I was drifting my 2005 Vibe with AWD. I drifted badly and ended up in a snow bank. Only the rear was showing underneath the car. I grabbed my tow rope and got a friend with his truck but there was no place to attach the rope. Where is a safe spot to attach the rope w...
