3 miles in, my clutch cable broke. There was no way I was gonna give up my chance to finally give her a spinal tap from the inside. I drove the whole way in third gear, timing the stoplights. When I had to stop a couple of times I just started the car in first and tried to match the revs to the speed to force the gearshift into the next gear.
I pulled into her driveway going about 30 MPH and almost rear ended her car. I did rear end HER soon after though.
Plus I had to drive back the same way the next morning

I did the same thing in my '74 Jeep CJ-5. Except there wasn't pussy involved. It didn't have a clutch cable, but the clutch linkage broke and I had to drive home 20 miles or so without the clutch. I did the same thing as you, started it in first gear and managed to shift without the clutch. I had to pop it out of gear for every stop and then repeat the process of starting it in first.
