Ate so much mac n cheese that I can't stand to look at the stuff. Wouldn't trade any of it.

Stud I have a college classic story. Its my third year and I'm driving a VW(the small ones, not the bug, I forget what they are called). Car cuts out one day. So my friend looks at it and says the wire that carries electricity to the fuel pump is cut. I ask him how much it would cost and he says well you gotta replace this and that, etc. So he shows me how if you touch the broken ends together that the pump goes on. So I go home to the gf and ask her if shes got any tape and scissors. She gets if for me and asks me where I am going, I say "to fix the car". So I take the tape and tape togther the wire underneath the car so it makes a connection. LOL!!! Only problem came when it rained or snowed once in a while the tape would get wet and fall off. SO I kept the tape and scissors in the glove compartment and would just hop out and tape it back up! LOL!!!!!!!!!!
