Some crazy stories on here. Mine's not as crazy the one's I'm reading on here, but I've also had to pull some tricks out of my sleeve to get home in the past. More than once, but the one that's coming to mind is:

I had one of those cheap chome altenator brackets on my truck... the lower one broke on me, belt went loose and pulleys stopped turning. Didn't have any tools but luckily I was right across the street from Homes Depot. I went in and bought a roll of wire (I was running low on that anyway) and a cheap tool set (wrenches and pliers). I just had to pull the lower part of the altenator tight enough so the belt would turn the water pump. I found two holes on the inner fender, wrapped the wire around and strung it the lower part of the alt. Fired in up, pump was turning... Limped in home and went to the junkyard for some genuine GM brackets.
