    Check Your Brake Lines!

    I was just driving to my friends place and was doing ~45. Red light comes up quick so I hit the brakes hard and fast. Pedal goes to the floor, I coast through the light, down shift to second, and throw on the parking brake. Didn't hit anyone/anything thank god.

    Luckily my buddy happened to be a mile or so back and saw me. We brought out the duct tape and covered up the hole in my drivers side front line (more just to keep the corrosive stuff off my wheels). It appears that the line had been rubbed through and this was the last straw that took it out. So now I'm ordering lines to put on (will but the front lines on while here on campus in the parking garage, the rears later).

    Check your lines guys. They could look wonderful and strong like mine, but if you don't look them closely, you may wind up blowing through on a rub spot out of plain view.

    Time for some Turner Stainless lines!

    scary stuff.

    People say I'm paranoid because I replace any rubber hoses on a 'new' 20year old car

      Thank God you are ok man. This is why I did all of my lines, hard lines and rubber. I like the Turner lines BTW.
