I-35 *where*? The Southern end of I-35's here in Texas, which means those guys were crackin' cases of Lone Star....
Jeez. What a waste of duct tape. Just use one, turn it into a tiller. Funny story: my two oldest brothers had a friend in high school, Eric Goodrich, whose dad was a long-haul Teamsters driver. Made beaucoup bank back in the Sixties and Seventies. That allowed for family vacay every Summer, and on this one particular Summer, the family had Eric's grandma on his mom's side tag along. Now the family was in the Family Truckster, and it had a problem of some kind in the steering column, which didn't get fixed before they left. So Eric's dad simply left the nut off the shaft, and though the wheel was 'loose,' his dad knew to keep pressure on it to keep it in place. Eric told me that his dad and MIL were arguing about which route to take, and his dad got so angry, that on a straightaway, he yanked the wheel off the shaft, handed it to his MIL, told her to "drive whatever f√¢king route she wanted to," and grabbed the steering shaft with pliers, continued to drive....
