Repair-It

Every year I consider getting a set of winter tires/wheels for the Subaru, then I just never end up doing it. By the time you've got the TPMS added in and the codes reset, you're over $1000 no matter what..

I get why people don't want to drive a prius... but if you can by a $5K car, perform an easy repair, then get 150-200K (relatively) trouble free miles- why aren't more people doing this? You could have an affordable commuter car and actually get something you want. I kind of want to try this.
