Anyone have extremely stupid neighbors?

A friend of mine in high school once broke the accelerator cable on his GM, so he tied an electrical cord from a lamp to the carb throttle and used it as a throttle. He just pulled on the cable that went through the firewall into the interior to bring the car up to speed by handQUOTE]

Come on? Everyone knows that you use a metal coat hanger that has been untwisted. I knew a guy who did this on an S-10 350 swap and drove for like a week without a hood and his arm sticking out the window holding on to the hanger to give it gas. LOL
