that happened to me driving home from the airport one night, at about 3 am....the car "took off" as i was on the freeway. shifted it into neutral as i pulled off the road, and before the RPM's screamed, i shut the ignition off. took me about an hour of fumbling in the dark, trying to use my cellphone as a flashlight to see that the cruise control cable had come loose. not fun.
