Car battery
Jumper cables
Duct tape
If you get a bonus then bleach, lye, or tarp rounds it out. Have fun talking to the local police!
None of this would attract attention, this is what you would buy to work on an old car. You don't get out much do you? ๐คฃ
Are you working on the car or doing a patch job until you can work on the car?
There's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.
Yeah that hurts just right.
If you think the mechanics you go to aren't cowboys, you're wrong.
If you think the guy who wired up your home wasn't a cowboy, you're wrong.
If you think the guy you would hire to wire up your home now isn't a cowboy, you're wrong.
It's cowboys all the way down.
I've inspected enough homes to realize that the people with the least respect for the dangers of poorly-installed wiring are electricians.
Depends on whether I'm getting paid fam
Right. I'm just having trouble imagining a scenario that would require a new battery and duct tape but not fasteners of any kind or bolts...
How else do you fix a seat belt anchor
Going to an auto parts store? If you do that with duct tape then you're going to have a very bad time.
Damn boy woosh
don't woosh people, be better
Went out once to buy movie tickets, get back to the old big screen to experience it properly again. But it was very noisy and busy so it was more than enough with just the one time.
What movie? Casablanca?
I'd go for jumpers, tape, and a tarp. Using the car battery makes it seem like your car battery died. Rope would also make it creepy.
That's also all stuff you can use while working on your vehicle.
True, zip ties would also fit in that category
I can never remember; is it the left or right nipple that goes to battery positive??
