How about getting you there and back?
Had to drive out of state this summer and one of my axle boots had ripped and it started to knock to high heaven after about a hundred miles of driving. It was after dark on a sunday night and everything was closed up. We stopped at a convenience store looking for duct tape and wheel bearing grease. THey had the tape but not the grease. My buddy suggested 'Crisco' cooking grease. I drove up on a curb out back and crawled underneath and filled it with crisco, wrapped it with strips of cloth and then the duct tape. Drove 3 more hours that night and the 300 miles back later that week. Not a problem!! Drove it back and forth to work for two months before doing a more thorough repair.
