Stupid question about hooking up Lokar throttle cable

WOW! Crazy story! I made this a lot more difficult then it had to be, my apologies if you feel that I wasted your time. All advice WAS taken into consideration, and I got it hooked up. I made sure that it would not interfere with anything also, thanks for your story, and sorry to hear what happened! Live n learn, right? I'm sure I'll have more questions in the near future, like when my kickdown cable gets here! Also, I was thinking about this the other day. I wasn't going to keep a toolbox in the trunk, thinking it's just asking for something bad to happen. Now, I've decided that I'm going to go pick up some new tools for the garage to replace the old ones, and keep the crucial oldies in the trunk, in case something like this happens!!!!!!!
