Desperate things you did to keep an engine running...

Back in college days, I had a buddy that had a nice 68 Olds Cutlass, at that point in time it was about a 6 year old car. He was from the Chicago area and one weekend we drove up there in his car to spend the weekend out on Rush Street. On the drive back South one of the front wheel bearing started going out and screaming. We just kept driving, the louder it got the more we turned the radio up.
We made it back, the driver side front wheel was laid over far enough that the dust shield behind the brake was worn through and the spindle was beyond reuse.
The craziness of youth.
