I'm no redneck, but I've done way worse than that. When I lived in Michigan, I drove a 62 Imperial that had a bad leak around the steering box input shaft. Fluid would flow up the column housing onto a dash shroud and then on my right ankle so it would go into my shoe. So I duct taped a plastic funnel to the underside of the dash and a hose from it into a 2 liter soda bottle. Every morning I would empty that bottle back into the P/S reservoir. I drove it like this for so long I sort of forgot that others might find this noteworthy. When I moved back to CT and tried to register it there, the inspector saw it. He absolutely threw a fit and demanded my license. He wouldn't give it back until he brought 4 other inspectors out to see it. Just goes to show, give people a little authority and humor and creativity goes right out the window.
