Do not overlook your Brake system!
UGH.

Wow, no doubt that's one unhappy owner.
I'd also remind classic car owners to replace their tires based on age and regardless of how they appear or how many miles they have on them. I had two Radial TA's fail recently. They were about 10 years old and looked virtually new. |
Wow, that sucks. Appreciate the reality reminders.
|
ive never seen disc brakes fail like that
|
Very good PSA!
|
Ouch! That was painful.

Yes... It is called a "brake check" for a reason. It was the very first thing my dad taught me when I got behind the wheel for the first time.
It is always the first thing you do with a collector vehicle and even with that you should always drive to anticipate things like sudden and unexpected vacuum leaks which can and do affect brake response. Make sure the emergency brake actually works too. |
