Brakes!

Speaking of my brake job, my mother in law's driveway is very steep, and I have been parking on it, setting the e-brake pretty hard. Well, like 15 minutes ago, I SET the ebrake, and SNAP! Some cable broke. I guess I'll first take the back wheels off and check back there, where the cable connects to the brake shoes, then I'll check where the lever is.

Anger! Fire coming out of the sides of my head! Flames! ("Clue" the movie)
