Had a friend sit in the engine bay and hold a pop bottle full of gas which was fed to the fuel line so we could get out of the woods after a fuel pump crapped out on us. That was a hairy ride for him.
That's too funny, I thought we only did stuff like that. We were at a public boat ramp at a favorite lake hang out one night, when the cops showed up and said someone complained so we had to leave. We were riding with a friend that had a VW and lo and behold when we started it the accelerator cable broke. Well with our ingenuity and the cop standing there watching, my buddy sat on the rear bumper and operated the throttle while I drove. We took off down the road with me yelling SHIFT out the window so he could let off the gas long enough for me to shift. The local cop, who we knew well and liked very much as he understood our young antics stood there with his hands on his hips shaking his head. True story.:-D
