What was your best DIY road side repair?
Here is mine. While traveling at night my alternator belt blew. I was able to get off the highway and into a parking lot. I don't have a toad and there was nothing around me that I could walk to....

years ago I had a 84 Midas class c on a ford van chassis, 460 motor, the week before it started popping back through the carb, the timing was off so I changed the timing chain thinking it had jumped a notch. The following week we headed from Dallas to Ponca City Ok. for a motocross race. about 30 miles into the trip, on the expressway, it popped back a couple of times and died, I made it to the shoulder opened the hood, a cop showed up and told me I had to move it asap or they would call a wrecker. I popped off the distributor cap while the cop stood there and grabbed the rotor and it turned easily. the pin in the distributor gear had sheared off, I put a cotter key in it and it started and we drove to the nearest auto parts to get a split pin. recently on a 454 in a p30 I had a lower smog pump lock up, I had a spare and got it changed in less than a hour, I even had the new belt that burned off when it locked.
