I put a new throttle cable in my FC last year. It was working fine but had a few spots on it that were iffy. So I replaced a perfectly good piece. Well, the new cable felt soooo much smoother than the one that was good but old. Plus it's good piece of mind when I'm on the track. Hitting turn 2 at Pacific Raceways without any runoff area and trying to bleed off 130mph to 70mph is not the time I want to have any unintended acceleration.

I had my throttle stick on me once on a freeway that turned into a highway. I didnt know it was stuck untill a light was coming up and i was doing 70mph and there was traffic in front of me stopped. I tried to stop with the brakes but it just burnt my breaks, so i turned the car off and used the brakes again, but since they were already hot *** hell they didnt want to make me stop very well. I had to swerve at the last few feet so i didnt rear end the dude in front of me stopped at the light. I hopped out really quick and pushed the car to the side.

Yeah a stuck throttle cable is no joke, you have to think quick.
Being stuck in the mini was kinda cool, cause it was like I never left the car show, people waving, smiling, giving me the thumbs up, and even talking when the traffic got backed up to a stop.
