I lost my brakes today!

[Vanner1993]

I was on my way to school, on a hill at a red light and started to roll backwards. Light turned green and I went, then I couldn't stop! Got to school, and brake fluid was all over the passenger front tire. I ended up popping a rusty line right where is connects to the caliper hose on the coil tower. Replaced it in shop, and it works great. It's a little scary when your emergency brake doesn't work to great. Had enough excitement for one day......

Well that ended a lot better than it could have. Who really needs brakes though, all they do is slow you down.

Quoted for truth!

Wouldn't we know this best, being Okie drivers and all. Why slow down for a stopped vehicle, just jump lanes. Yellow light, gun it and you can cross before the red hits. Even if it does turn red, you're already rolling, complete that turn and let on coming traffic use their brakes.

All in good humor.

Dang man - scary!!! I live on top of a hill and my street T's into a fairly busy one. I'm always thinking parking brake when I go down the hill. A few years ago when things iced over, some dumb-f#!k slid down and went through the neighbor's fence.
