I've duct taped a twin-turbo Lamborghini in the past...

The hose clamps that held the air filters to the turbos cut through the rubber mounting points. So yea, duct taped them bad boys on up there and it ran fine for the rest of the day and to get the guy home. He was pretty appreciative of it too, he gave me a ride in it a few laps around the Moroso road course!

Had the bolts that held my shift cables to the tranny fall out as we were test driving my car after a clutch job at 3 am. Stranded in a turn lane in the middle of 56th street, running open downpipe for the first time and worrying because it was loud as hell, a cop behind me all of a sudden with his lights on- I kindly declined his offer to push the car into a parking lot by ramming my rear bumper with his push bar. I ran two or three zip ties through each of the bolt holes and zip tied the assembly together. It was pretty sloppy shifting but it held to get me back to the garage! I was impressed- that was a lot of force to expect zip ties to hold.

throttle cable snapped in my 1g, so i used a cable from a garage door until i could order another one.

opened my hood one time and my coolant resevoir was just...gone. used a coolant jug and ziptied/hangered it until i got another resevoir.

broke off a bolt from the thermostat housing, used a c-clamp to hold it shut.

on my 1g, the trans mount was completely stripped out, so i used a tow-strap to keep it secure.

thats about it lol
