What is the most ghetto thing you've done to your car?

Inspired by the "What is the most ghetto thing you've found done to your car?" thread.

I once ran out of brake fluid, all the stores were closed, so I peed in the master cylinder

The brake did not smell very good 4 days later

But it worked.

Re: What is the most ghetto thing you've done to your car?

I somehow smashed a rear brake line on a trip from Kansas City to Norfolk VA and lost all pedal pressure.. I got under the car and disconnected the smashed line and put a header bolt in its place until I got home. I thought it was pretty ghetto but it got me home and lasted until I got paid. I was 20 back then with zero money.

Too many beers... that's my story... doing electrical work in my garage. Had a roll of electrical tape and bad window sweeps. hmmmm... I should be kicked off the island for this, but it looks better, from really far away. Sorry to the Gods of Camaro for my sins... new outer sweeps will be installed by spring.
