Stop in for a cup of coffee

I've been lucky.
One time the throttle cable frayed and hung up in the housing when I accelerated onto a crazy highway.
Tapped the pedal and the engine only revved higher.
Got on the brakes and killed motor.
Not a happy car but got over to the side and off the highway.

Another time I drove from NJ to the Fla panhandle. When I got there my Aunt needed a ride to the Post Office.
When we got back and I pulled in the their driveway, a front brake hose failed. :eek:
