I was at the Galax Wally World today, what has been seen can not be unseen. I love the guys that have a Dodge dully diesel pickup with a 6" stack sticking out of the bed blowing huge clouds of black smoke as they take off from every stop light. No I'm not an environmentalist, but let's be real. :banghead:

I had a Subaru brat way back when.. it wasn't in great condition. It was -20 and the throttle cable broke. :banghead:

I ripped out the speaker wire and tied it to the throttle linkage and it was just long enough to open the window and run the throttle by hand. Had to go 4 miles, my hand was numb by the time I got home.

The best was the looks I got at stoplights as I took off.

The coolest-ever "Midnight repair" that I managed: During a date with a young beauty during High School, the throttle cable became disconnected on my 1946 CJ-2A back in the.... remote areas of the Town! :opps:
No flashlight: I had to figure out what happened and why, and then find a solution. It turned out that a
c-clip that held the throttle linkage together has fallen out...

...We ended up scavenging the clip off of an available bra, to get the Jeep back on the road! :clap:

Bob, you've been telling us you aren't mechanically inclined, so who's idea was it?

Her.... But dad, he needed it to fix the linkage!! Honest...

I'm far more limited now, than I was during my sordid youth...
(almost 52 years as a Type I Diabetic...)

Rob,
Once I realized that we were going nowhere without the throttle linkage hooked up...
...And where we were; would be FAR too difficult to explain...


I started thinking pretty darn fast! nojoke
