First encounter with a roadside need for the toolkit...

So I'm still on the road with my new one and just outside the Oklahoma City limits I am doing about 45 and the gas peddle broke loose. Now I'm no mechanic. In fact I would screw up adding water/coolant to a car. The craziest thing I've ever done before is change a tire. I'm just not a fix it kinda guy-till now!

I broke out the toolkit which I thought was more for show than anything and by golly I unscrewed the housing around the peddle and the panel off the console and found the throttle cable had come loose, reattached it, and drove it in.

Hard to believe my first attempt ever to repair a broken car is a Ferrari and I did right...AND was back on the road in under 15 minutes!

 

Hi Mike,

I picked up a 94 348 Spider Black/Tan w/ 17K Miles. Really nice car and runs/drives better than the last.

 

I posted a thread with road pics from the trip getting the car back home. Some pretty cool shots so check them all out on the 348/355 threads...
