Just get me home!

Broke both Z-bar and clutch pedal several times in 72Chevelle and just started in 1st and shifted without clutch to get more than just home. Broke Z-bar pivot ball in block so made aluminum bracket for new pivot ball and bolted it to bell housing. That lasted for two years until I finally pulled engine.

Broke lower ball joint in an accident on an icy road (1969 Belvedere) but couldn't afford to replace it. I drove around with a floor jack and a 2X4 in the trunk for two months. Whenever I made a sharp right turn, it would pop out of the ball socket so I had to jack it up and with the 2x4 wedged under the LCA, lower the car so the ball would slide back into the socket again.

Drove with ruptured brake lines on my Denali to get home. Downshifted into low gear to slow down and then applied e-brake to stop. This wasn't too safe, but I was in a hurry. I probably wouldn't do this again.
