The first one, “roadside repair” , reminded me of when I finally got my first house and it had a garage! Anyway, I had a 56 Chevy station wagon that I just put an engine in and then very next day headed out for an 1100 mile one way trip with my wife and very young son.
We got about 1 hour out and the alternator broke loose. I put a vice grip on it and drove the rest of the way.
