They didn't have Pringles 30 years ago when I had to patch my exhaust
But, I always had a lot of beer cans which worked well for a week or two

I think the pringles co caught wind of this a couple months ago and this was why they raised the price on them by 50% in one swoop!
I eat lays stax brand now, but the containers are plastic ovals, so they will not be as useful...

My beater car is full of quick and easy fixes.
Fun stuff.

Just to name a few:

72 cutlass bumper on the back of an 85 delta.
Wheel wells shaped from "Great stuff"
4 door window switches in a 2 door. When one gets worn out, just move the wires over to the next one.
Sawzalled quarter panels behind the rear wheels.
Carburetor stud for a hood latch
Holes in the AC box to slide pushrods in and out.
