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....

Had a 66 Mustang. My heater fan switch went out in the dead of winter around midnight after my swing shift at work. I repurposed a piece of wire (turned out to be some piece that operated my tail lights) and ran it from the battery to the blower motor. Worked fine until the splice grounded itself to some piece of metal under the dash and the entire wire heated up, glowed a bright orange, filled my entire car with smoke, and started dripping hot plastic on my leg. I slammed on the brakes, stopped in the middle of a large intersection and ripped the wire out. Was too tired to get a new piece of wire, so I hooked everything back up and drove home...toasty warm.
