Dibs,
I used a foil gum wrapper to jump a bad fuse to get home once in a an AMC
Javlin once (my first car).
Do not try this at home, it was done by an amateur on open public roads.
Warm Regards,
Tracy Drummond

Since someone asked, if you lost your ignition key during a day at the beach
(or wanted to borrow your buddy's car to go get more beer) and you had a
pack of Beeman's gum -- remember, Chuck Yeager chewed that to relieve
drymouth from pure oxygen breathed on test flights, another piece of
historical triva -- you could use the foil wrapper for the gum to jump the
ignition just by compressing it over the two setscrews on the back of the
ignition switch.
