Checked oil at gas station. Forgot to put cap back on. On the way home I start smelling oil. Pop the hood and the engine bay is covered. Realized my mistake. Put a leather glove over the hole and zip ties it on.

Another good one.

I had one similar. Left my gas cap on the pump at the station. This was back before the filler tubes had that flapper valve, so gas was sloshing out. I stopped at the grocery store, got a potato, cut it down to size, and used it to hold my gas in until I got back to the gas station to pick up my cap.

My list is too long but will share two

1. Zip Tyed friends complete front bumper and grill onto his old Grand Prix

2. Rebuilt 58 ford - spent all the money on the 427 engine - bought an old bucket seat from junk yard and pipe strapped a lawn chair on the passenger side

Looked terrible but dusted rich kids corvettes all night long
