My luck w/ cars continues

[vilant]

Nearly crashed my 2003 Dodge Dakota tonight. The roads were wet and a light changed. Had to jam the brakes and the ABS went off. Then all of the sudden the pedal went to floor and I wasn't stopping,. Thank God it's stick, cause I managed to down shift quickly and finally stopped in the middle of the intersection. Drove forward again to see if it would stop. The pedal goes all the way to the floor w/ a minimal amount of stopping. Pulled over and popped the hood, and saw I was low on brake fluid, so I went Pep boys driving very slowly,lol. Filled it up, pumped the brakes, and heard something shooting out underneath. Got a flashlight and saw that my brake lines are completely rusted through. Brake fluid is shooting out of them! Now I have 2 unusable cars. Guess I'll buy a flaring kit and tubing tomorrow. Sorry, just felt like bitchin' about my crappy luck. Could of been alot worse.
