Hmmm. Able to fix anything? Well, I don't know about anything, but I had an Oldsmobie Omega one year (back in 93)and my ex-wife got into an accident with it. Luckily, it wasn't bad. It tore off the bumper post on the driver side and also broke the headlight fixture. Well, I couldn't afford getting it fixed properly, but did have some duct tape. I just wrapped it around and around the bumper to the frame. It held for a long time. I also used it to hold the headlight in. That wasn't as good a fix, cause if I hit a bumpy road, the light would angle up some. It made for some hilarious moments. It looked like I was spotlighting the sky for a plane attack back from the 40's or something. LOL. I would stop the car and gently push it back into place. Good for another 50,000 miles. I never did replace the fixture. Just kept driving on the duct tape repair.
