If Billy Mays were alive today he would make an infomercial on that. $4 each, but call right now in the next 20 minutes and you get four 5-bolt hubcaps for the price of three and get a stick of Mighty Putty absolutely free, just pay shipping and handling. Give your car that sleek modern 5 bolt look you've always wanted.

Have you ever known someone who busted not one, but TWO fake lugs off a wheel cover?

Nope but Mighty Putty will fix it.

So on Monday I finally had time to go and change out my front mount with the one I had applied a polyurethane sealant to. What I saw when I took out the old mount surprised me but it made complete sense:

The one on the left is my old front mount. The center piece that the crossbolt went through had been completely torn off. And it showed with the way the car drove. Shuddered on every start, clunked and bucked on shifts, vibrated like hell at low RPM and high throttle load, and shuddered/vibrated even worse when I turned right. The other mount that I put in (it was one of my old mounts that I just poly'd up) made a world of difference. The car shudders a bit on starts before it's warmed up and vibrates marginally more at idle but everything other than that is wonderful. It's so smooth now. It's enjoyable to drive again.

Nice fix mang. Good idea over there in IL it looks like. Poor metal bits! :( Makes me pissed @ winter.

Have a driving vid of Brianna? Don't recall ever seeing one.
