Well now for my story, I might post more pics later.
So i'm driving away from the car show in heavy traffic. I merge into the main highway and accelerate to keep up with traffic. Well when I let my foot off the gas I suddenly realize the car is still accelerating. So I hit the break and its still taking off like a bat out of hell. I throw it into neutral and the rpms quickly hit the rev limiter....WOW. So I throw it back into gear trying to find a good place to ditch the car onto a median, but there was none. So I am fighting the car with the breaks and pressing the gas pedal in and out to break it loose cause it is obviously stuck at WOT!! I finally find a small spot...thank god, and have already turned the car off before I hit the people in front of me. Long story short turns out my throttle cable became fraid where it goes through the fire wall and was stuck. Looks like there was suppose to be a sleave there to keep the cable from rubbing bare metal. There was no way to fix it and I was stuck on the side of the road in heavy traffic with..... A DEAD DAMN CELL PHONE. Luckily a guy let me use his phone, and being in myrtle beach, it took a while for someone to find a dolly and come get me from wilmington.
Cost to enter car show: $30
gas money to get to car show: $5
having your car's throttle stick at 100% in heavy traffic with no where to pull over, all the while pissing your pants and soiling your underwear: PRICELESS!!
