Temporary Fixes and Jerry-Rigged Repairs. Whats your best/worst?

Hey everyone,

So I'm interested in hearing/seeing some of you're guys best and worst jerry-rigged/temporary fixed on your benz's....

Mine:
The other day my dad and I were driving around in his 300SD. We have two 300SD and this one is the beater while the other one is the clean one that has been stored most of its life and get tended to..you get the picture..

So we get home and he goes to turn off his headlights and they wont turn off. He turns the knob all over the place and nothing. Turns out he broke the little metal fingers that go into the knob. So to fix it, I wired in some switches...




Looks pretty rough. I feel bad for the car.. I had to jerry up his last car's headlamps (GM VAN), the high beam function on the stick broke, so I wired the high beams to the fog lamp switch (fogs were broken)... Atleast that looked factory.. This not so much..

What about you guys?
