changed flat tires
plugged tires
spliced bad kick-stand switch (motorcycle)
wired up mufflers/exhaust
replaced starter (at a gas station)
replaced serp belt
used a paper clip to connect shift linkeage on a 5-speed cavalier
swapped relays to get my truck started (starting was more important than headlights in the daytime)
cut and spliced transmission cooler line
re-attached shift cable for my Xterra (this was my fault...happened after I rebuilt the tranny and guessing I forgot to tighten it)
replaced shift cable in a Cavalier in Walmart parking lot
...and that is just off the top of my head.
Maybe I just have bad luck with vehicles???
Or maybe you were driving beaters back in the day???
7 of them were in the last two years...I admit most were on my daughters 2008 Ford Taurus.
