I'd love to be hanging off the side of a 34 Ford Coupe while going down
a winding mountain road - but, I might be mistaken about that.

 
My father once told me about some of his buddies who had a car with a
bad fuel pump, and to get it home, they took the hood off...  Two of
them sat on each fender and took turns spraying cans of starting fluid
directly into the carburetor...  They drove the car home on starting
fluid -- I guess the third guy controlled the brakes and steering from
inside.  At least I've never done anything that crazy.

I seriously doubt that the engine would have lasted long enough to get
very far shooting all that starter fluid into it.
