Well, the reason it was stuck at full throttle was because that is typical operation. I think I let up to go from 2nd to 3rd, and the engine decided to visit the rev limiter instead.

I am happy to report that even at 1AM I was able to quickly put my years of mental training to good use! Of course, I didn't actually bother stopping (it's a momentum car!), just turned it off and popped the pedal off the floor, restarted and carried on my way. I thought about calling 911 just to talk about my feelings but given my expired tags I didn't want to attract further attention.
