    I lost my brakes on I-70 today

    Going off an exit ramp at 45 mph with three cars ahead of me.

    No col!lisions, but got bounced around on the green stuff trying to slow down going downhill on a curve. 45 angle passover concrete finally did the trick.

    Waiting on AAA now.

    More later.
    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                Thanks, guys.

                Brake went to the floor without resistance, ebrake did nothing discernable, shifted into neutral (should have shifted into 1st, wasn't thinking), may have shifted into reverse, no.difference.

                  There's no such thing as an accident only negligence.
