Just get me home!

Buddy of mine had an old Pinto years ago. For some reason the starter wouldn't work, and it was an automatic so you couldn't push start it.

So he would wrap a piece of clothesline around the front pulley, stand on the front fender, and give it a mighty yank....it would start every time! lol

Another friend had an old VW van. I saw him start it with a ratchet and socket many times. Just put the ratchet and socket on the generator pulley nut, bring it up on compression, and it would start with a crank of the ratchet.
