I was home the day before I was to graduate from college and took my car to a shop to get the rear brakes fixed. Close to closing time they realized they did not have the parts to fix it. They put the old parts in a bag and I drove away with no brakes. I had to be back in Atlanta the next morning to receive my diploma. I drove the 280 miles that night without a sign of a brake and stopped the car by looking ahead and gearing down. Only once or twice did I roll past a stop sign or a red light. I averaged 50 miles per hour on two lane roads. I made it to Atlanta before the morning rush hour to a shop close to where the graduation was held. That was absolutely crazy and I would not recommend anyone doing that.
