RE: Scared out of my mind.
If its actually the linkage and not the carpet the best thing to do is first punch the gas pedal all the way down, this is will actually unstick the throttle in most cases. To just throw it in neutral and hit the brakes will stop you but will still be reving up your engine so I guess this would be option #2 if #1 fails
