How many times were you driving the dead car that was being towed with "Armstrong Steering" and no power brakes? You were doing good if you kept the slack under control with that chain and using and understanding hand signals. That last thing you would want to do is hit the back of Dad's car!
I did have an accelerator spring break once on my /6 '72 Duster on the interstate in traffic. The gas pedal slammed to the floor but with that "massive" 1BBL acceleration I had pleanty of time to manuver to the right lane and turn the key back one click and pulled over. The spring was still there, bent the end where it broke and drove on! I never did replace it and drove it for years!
