I had a flat tire the other night (a nail, probably courtesy of Home Depot) and when I pulled out the donut spare, I noticed two black rubber plugs in the spare tire well. Turns out they plug a couple of holes (maybe 1-2 inches each?) that are open to the ground. Does anyone know what these holes are for? I figure they were just for manufacturing convenience, but I wondered if there was any more interesting reason for them.
i think thats for the hitch u can buy for the car
Hmmm. Probably a 3-lb towing capacity on the Aveo; why bother? :mrgreen:
ive used them to drain the water out of my car, LOL
those holes are for when you need to use it as a cooler for your beer, and later you can drain it out when the ice melts. and it has that handy carpeted cover to conceal your brew!
thats actually a killer, fuel efficeint way to tailgate! now, how to incorporate a grill...Quote:

lol all good ideas but the holes are infact there to drain out any water that might get in there
Y'all crack me up. If only I could reach that cooler while driving on a hot day!
water... also you can use them to run the power wire for your undercar neon as I did in my wifes MS Protege.
The hitch for these cars (the hatch at least) is mounted to the rear bumper reinforcement. It would probably pull the floor out if mounted in those holes. Also, I'm not sure what the towing capacity is on these cars but I towed a fully loaded U-haul across the country (5000 km) and had no problems except for really dirty trans fluid.
i don't know why but i think its realy kool :oops:Quote:

you can tow up to 950lbs but no more. I looked in to this for I really want a tear drop trailer. I think the smallest tear drop is 750lbs so you can only pack 250lbs of gear to camp with.
How much is the Hitch kit?
I picked up mine for $80. The one for the sedan is a bit more expensive though.
Is your hitch kit factory? How hard was it to install?
i'm not sure i'd want to put a hitch on mine? can the car survive towing even 1000 pounds?
The hitch kit is after market, can't remember the company though. It wasn't to hard to install. You have to remove the rear bumper cover and drill the reinforcement bar then just bolt up the hitch to it. I towed over some pretty rough roads doing 120 km/h and never had any problems. The tongue weight on the trailer was about 150 lbs and the overall weight was about 800-900 lbs.Quote:
