Am I the only one who bought a $400 truck at a Denton auction and drove it home on a spare strapped with a dog leash?

The auctioneer yelled sold before I even looked under the hood. Halfway down I-35 the spare tire strap snapped and a guy in a Silverado pulled up yelling that my tire was doing 60 on its own. I limped it to a gas station off Teasley Lane and zip tied the leash back on, and it held all the way to my driveway. Now I bring a real ratchet strap to every auction. What's the dumbest thing you used to get a car home?
