Hiring a professional is probably your best bet. Plus, your car looks a heck of a lot better without the bungee cords.

14. Throw your trash in the backseat and leave it forever.

Your car will forever be known as the "Garbage Mobile", and that's just embarrassing :(

Be smart; don't let dumb driving ruin your day.
