I drove to my dad's work, but he didn't have tools so we had to drive to a local mechanic who fixed it for $10. Altogether we drove just over a half mile. The look on the faces of other drivers was priceless.
That sir, is priceless! Haha, my cousin bought a vw bug with no throttle cable. We tied a kite string to it and ran it through the back seat to the front seat and thats how he drove it for a few months
