I don't believe I suggested the man is an idiot. However, when it comes to
things
like brake failures on a vehicle, those are not something to be treated lightly
or
trivially. It is not in the same league as say turn signal failures or sticky
door
handles. Failed brakes have a nasty habit of hurting and killing people other
then
the person who refuses to fix them.
Now, that last is not to say this person is refusing to fix them. However, in
my
forgetting that this system is a remote booster unit, and not the typical
firewall
system, it seemed very clear to me that he was chasing the wrong monkey. If in
fact
it was a firewall mounted system, I'd stick to my guns that he was chasing the
wrong
monkey. It's not, and seeings how I am very unfamiliar with remote systems,
I've
decided to watch instead, because I'm not familiar with remote servo brake
systems.
I do wish to point out that if my wife gets killed by a person with known bad
brakes, I will not ever be sypathetic to a plea that they were working on it. Or
somehow afraid to ask help or have it fixed right. I have no qualms with
people
risking their own lives as much as they want. I have many qualms with people
risking others lives.
