As I'm leaving work the other day, I start the car and hit the gas to back out and I hear a snap, and the throttle pedal falls to the floor.
Fortunately, I work in a hospital and found a hemostat clamp nearby which enabled me to get home without the need for a tow. Working the gas with my right hand while shifting with the left wasn't the easiest, but didn't work too bad. Attached thumbnail(s)
