A good sharp blow to the general area of the fuel pump with your fist
makes for interesting conversation with your passenger.
"Why are you punching the floor?" To keep the fuel pump ticking I said!
Next I tell the passenger to kick his foot really hard in an upwards
direction.
"Why he asks?" because my signals and tach just went out and the fuse is
located just above your foot, it's dirty, a good hard kick and a
properly placed punch is all that these cars need to keep em running.

Fran who has been driving these things long enough to know what "tuck &
roll" is.
