'Rigging' things on the road....

[Longhorn Man]

Everyone who has been daily driving an old vehicle knows the value of being able to 'rig' something just to get it home. The further from home you drive your old stuff, the more important your 'flexibility' on repairing your vehicle becomes.
Chevy fat man , cheese wagon and I were talking about this last night, and we were kinda wondering about everyone's storys.
I have used a bungie cord as a throttle return spring, windshield washer motor as a fuel pump, a string for throttle control...
I'm sure more will come to mind.
So what kind of stuff have you done just to get home, or to ensure you could get to work in the morning?
