Had something similar happen once. 95 Dodge Spirit. The springs in the clutch broke and wedged themselves between the flywheel and clutch plate. Shift without the clutch, shut it down at lights, start the car in first. Drove about 20 miles in the city that way.

Trying to think of some other 'fun' issues...

87 Daytona Shelby Z. Fresh rebuilt engine, take it out to seat the rings. Stop in a parking lot. Engine is on fire. I forgot to tighten down the oil inlet to the turbo. Luckily it burned itself out without issue. Fun fact: if you run into a Pizza Bolis and say "My car is on fire, do you have a fire extinguisher!?" People will look at you like you have 2 heads.

Wife's Integra (now my DD) loved blowing radiators and hoses. Can't tell how many I've replaced in parking lots.

Overall, these trucks are simple, but it seems like there hasn't been a time since I owned it that I am not working on fixing something.
