I carry a spare throttle cable simply because I'm OCD (or CDO, depending on how you you look at it).

I've been involved with VW based dune buggies and now Speedsters since the 1960's.

I have never had a throttle cable break in all those years.

HOWEVER!  One of the members on here, @WildBill , had a throttle cable break at an event years ago and I stopped with him to help, while the rest of the group (30 other cars) continued on towards dinner.  IIRC, we had the cable replaced with my spare in about 15 minutes by feeding it through from the pedal end.  You don't even have to move the carpet out of the way.

If you carry a spare, the one being used will probably never break.
