*#^$%@$*#& car


So, multiple appointments for the next couple of days, tickets for events the next two nights, Thanksgiving coming up and what happens when I pull out of my driveway to go to a meeting tonight? The frickin' brake light comes on. The emergency brake is not on, so that means one thing... not enough pressure in the brake lines. According to the car manual, total brake failure could be imminent.
And here's the most annoying part. I had planned to put the car in the shop for regular maintenance early next week. On account of being so busy and NEEDING IT TO WORK this week.
I can't catch a break.
Heh.
UPDATE: Leaks in both brake lines. GNEEP! It's a good job I chickened out on driving it and had it towed to the garage. It'll be fixed on Tuesday. (Monday is Thanksgiving here in the Land of the Beaver.)

What a drag - and an expensive drag, at that. Maybe it'll be alright until next week?

Is your car either a Toyota or a Honda? They both have recalls concerning brake lines right now, and you could get your repair for free...
