I used a Bic pen to fix the shift linkage on a 65 Mustang out in the middle of the desert. Trying to go 70 miles in first gear with a 202 would have taken me about 10 hours.
Always wanted to do that commercial "Dear Bic, you're not going to believe this but..."

Sorry, just felt like getting nit-picky. ;}

Of course, I also had a pair of leather gloves to put out the fire.

"I used a Bic pen to fix the shift linkage on a 65 Mustang out in the middle of the desert."I used a bobbie pin I found under the carpet in the trunk of my '67 Mustang. I bought some cotter pins but left the bobbie pin in to see how long it would last.
Answer: Three weeks.
