My 10yr old Ford Windstar, was the one that almost got brained by that lampost!

3 summers ago I was driving home on vacation, and unbeknownst to me my brake lines had ruptured and were leaking. I had the 3 cats with me (husband was following later) and I decided to drive right thru... all day with no stops, for them.

When I got home I parked in front, and unloaded etc. An hour later I decided to go get some food for hubby, who was due soon, and I was backing out, and had NO BRAKES! Pedal went right to the floor. It was getting dark, and it was rainey, so I couldn't see anything in the road. So I creeped back (3 houses) and pumped a few times to stop. I opened the hood and the container was full.

We waited til the next day, and I drove hubby's car to the store, and followed my "trail" of brake fluid quite a ways!
It was total luck I didn't have some horrible accident, or was stranded someplace with 3 cats, on a Sunday on a freeway!

We talked alot about MY guardian angel that day, and also the 3 CAT guardian angels who helped all of us!
I've never had brake lines do that in any other car we've had...so I won't ever buy FORD again!
