Would like to say there's a simple solution, but it all depends on what your
purpose for the car is. If you plan on a daily driver, I don't believe in
shortcuts. Do everything right today, you can drive safe at speed, and you
won't be calling AAA from the side of the road during a rainstorm in Vancouver.
Just my two cents.
