I once fixed the alternator pulley on my 1984 VW Rabbit in the parking lot of a gas station in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming using nothing but JB Weld, zip ties, and a piece of scrap metal I found and shaped into a replacement Woodruff key.

There's definitely something to be said for the maintainability of a vehicle where a small tool box worth of tools is enough to fix 90% of all possible problems.
