the guy who got **** up in the car accident works there. his buddy who also works there was in the car with him and he is in the hostipal too. so obviously the tire store is really backed up right now

Chris you should go pick your car up and get it dropped off at the Tire Store on rt. 5. the guys pretty fair and kicks stuff out pretty quickly.

so i still dont have my car back. i just found out that the guy who is fixing it for me was in a really bad car accident and he is in a coma or something.

fucken cars.

man i\'m infamous for getting crapped on in the car department. i just paid $1900 for a new engine and a month later the timing belt went while on my way home from Thanksgiving $400 later i have my car back. this all after putting like $2000 into it last year..... i could have bought a new car by now, if i had good credit and wasn\'t in debt.

**** cars indeed.

"Killer Cars"


Too hard on the brakes again
What if these brakes just give in?
What if they don\'t get out of the way?
What if there\'s someone overtaking?
I\'m going out for a little drive
And it could be the last time you see me alive
There could be an idiot on the road
The only kick in life is pumping his steel

Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
They won\'t ever take me alive
\'Cause they all drive...

Don\'t die on the motorway
The moon would freeze, the plants would die
I couldn\'t cope if you crashed today
All the things I forgot to say
I\'m going out for a little drive
And it could be the last time you see me alive
What if the car loses control?
What if there\'s someone overtaking?

Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
They won\'t ever take me alive
\'Cause they all drive killer cars

Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
No they won\'t ever take me alive
\'Cause they all drive killer cars
They all drive killer cars
They all drive killer cars

well, if it\'s a brake line you are lucky because that\'s not nearly as expensive to change ( a piece of rubber tubing is cheaper than all new pads). Something made you change your mind that night and take the backroad but that is because it was not your time yet. Please learn from this chris, and I don\'t mean that you should drink all the time while behind the wheel. Count your blessings brother.

Did you try the ebrake? Did it work? Start saving man, your going to need a new car eventually.

did you find out what the problem was.... mine was the master cylinder which basically pushes the fluid to the brakes. i ended up changing it myself for 50 bucks

the brakeline was **** up. i noticed a trail of brake fluid all the way up my street this morning after i woke up.

i was at the oakdale today when the guy from the towing company came. i left the car unlocked and he said he tried stepping on brakes and brake fluid was squirting out when he did that. i guess it was just a matter of time before it happened.

i called carla while i was driving with no brakes to tell her i wouldnt be at bar because at first that was biggest concern at the time, and she told me to put the car in a lower gear. so thank you carla for talking some sense into me before i even had a chance to freak out,\\.
ha!

those micro-biologists are wicked smart.

Glad you\'re alive!!! But...what\'s the difference of drinking a beer on back roads or on I-91? I\'d prefer the highway!

so i would have more time to drink it rather than just slug it down.

there really wasnt any logic involved in the decision to not take 91 last night. i just got lucky that i went a different way and was in a safe place for the brakeline to crap out.

yikes!! good thing you are okay. i would say to chill out with the alcohol in the car though. even if you are just having a beer, you never know if someone is going to hit you or what\'s going to happen. a good friend of mine down in va was driving w/ beer in her car and some old lady hit her. she ended up getting charged for having the alcohol, etc.
Or you might spill a perfectly good beer...

Yeah I actually did read the post, and I understood if it as meaning her took the back roads so he could drink a beer. If I misunderstood this then Fitz I am sorry

yeah, i took back roads to drink a beer. if i had not done that i would have crashed on i-91.

im not even sure why i did that. it was a split second decision to not take the highway. i didnt really even want the beer. opening it just seemed like the right thing to do at the time for some reason.

it happened at like 9:45 and i it took me until after 2 am to finish it off. no joke.

i decided to go the long way thru north haven and take back roads south and get on a few exits down the road so i would have time to drink a beer and send carla text message letting her know id be there with the discs but i would be there late.

chris, i\'m glad you did not hurt yourself or anyone else as a result of getting on the highway and losing your brakes.

holy **** :holyshit:

i left my house to go to bar for timmy tour. as i was leaving i got a voicemail from carla reminding me to bring a live recording i did for dustin\'s band that she needed to pick up for him.

i almost got on i-91 from toelles road near exit 13 in wallingford/north haven, but at the last second i decided to go the long way thru north haven and take back roads south and get on a few exits down the road so i would have time to drink a beer and send carla text message letting her know id be there with the discs but i would be there late.

5 mins later and 2 miles down the road my i lose my breaks completely. i was able to drive back home in 1st gear and i made it back safe. if i had gotten on 91 like i normally do and i got up to 70 mph and then lost my brakes i would surely be dead right now and maybe have taken a few others out with me.

that is broseph\'s work at his finest. i am very lucky to be here typing this right now.
