[Shotimes] Brakes

[Carl Prochilo]

Someone earlier mentioned e-brake.  That was a problem I had recently.
Somewhere along the life of my 11 year old car, the driver side e-brake
cable was smashed/bent.This was causing the rear driver side brake to bind.
The binding was ever so subtle, but enough to wear out the pads.
I decided to pay to have the entire e-brake assembly replaced.  Now the rear
brakes work fine.

Cheers,
Carl Prochilo
