Throttle cable

And so the day starts.....
I made a quick run to the Hardware store this morning. On the way the throttle stuck a bit I gave it a quick rap and all was good. I got to the store and popped the hood open and saw my throttle cable was fraying. This was no surprise as I was going to replace it.
Now keep in mind that I have a new cable and gas pedal at home. Key word at home.
Coming home the cable snapped! I pulled off the side of the road and "improvised" a new throttle cable, well throttle rope .

Made it home and installed the new pedal and cable.

So what is the reason of this post? If you know you have some thing to replace replace it!
