My truck just broke down at a gas station so I got my Macgyver on

[Small Car Horn]

I put a little gas in my truck and when I tried to start it back up, nothing. It's embarrassing being broken down at a gas pump, so I wanted to fix it quick and get out of there. Plus the store was about to close and I didn't have a phone on me. I was gonna have to rely on my wits to get me out of this. So I get under the hood and check the battery, and the postive terminal lug had a lot of corrosion on it. I had an old wire brush I keep in there for just such a thing, so I scrapped it clean and realized the terminal lug had broken completely off and half of it was gone. That lug has to fit around the terminal snug for it to work.

I have a lot of tools but almost none of them were in the truck. Just a few old tools strewn about my toolbox. Some old wire strippers, screwdrivers, and 2 adjustable wrenches. So me being the mix of Macgyver and Tony Stark that I am, I had the idea to use the adjustable wrench as a makeshift clamp to hold the lug in place (and avoid touching the other terminal) long enough for me to get home. And you know what? It worked like a charm.

You guys had any Macgyver moments as epic as mine?

Yeah my accelerator cable broke once so I had zero throttle. I looked in my trunk and I had one of those simple screwdriver style test lights that have the wire attached to an alligator clip on them. I broke the wire off and used it to wrap what was left of the cable around the carburetor perch. Got me home at least.

Yea, sorry TS!

no problem!

I used to know how to fix a flat tire with bubble gum and stained toilet paper.

It's an old Marine Trick.

I saw an episode of Mythbusters where they tested different myths about how to fix a flat. One that worked really well was to cut open the tire and stuff it full of hay. That's assuming you break down near a hay field I guess. But it worked.

You can fix a Torn bicycle Tire with a 20 Peso Bill in Mexico, My Wife did it in the Cozumel Ironman.

Basically you give it to a Random Mexican, and they use a piece of someone else's bicycle tire to fix yours.

Works like a charm!
