Reminds me of the time when we lived in Westport, Connecticut. John Meyers and I drove my 74 Super Beatle to Jones Beach on long island. On the way back, the gas pedal went to the floor and we had no power. I had to move over a lane and climb what seem like a 12 curb to get off the highway. For whatever reason, I had a pair of needle nose vice grips in the glove box, which I was able to lock onto the broken cable at the gas pedal and going to the carburetor. The RPMs at idle were high, but it got us home.
