Ya know, of allll the things in a car that could go bad...brakes have to be on the top of the list of things-you-really-really-don't-wanna-be-without.
Yeah...you don't want to have to rely on the Flintstone Braking System.
I am much less worried about my brakes suddenly failing in my little car. It's so small, I figure the handbrake and careful maneuvering would probably get me out of trouble. When I drove the family SUVs, I worried all the time.
