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

I had a Pontiac T 1000 with a 4 speed, for those that dont know it is a Chevy Chevette basically. Anyway the car was ratty and the clutch started slipping, I figured I'd nurse it along for a week or two then get at the clutch. Well the slipping didn't last but 2 days and the car would no longer move, being that I was broke I went to the parts house and just bought the friction disc, I took it apart on a Saturday morning and slid the disc in it and was driving Saturday afternoon. The look on the parts guys face was priceless...": you want just the disc only...?" but yeah half assing it wasn't right but I did what had to be done to get moving again on the cheap...:)
