Default Ouch. Parking brake

Well, I'd put it off long enough (read: inspection guy didn't buy the "parking brakes are never good on these cars" excuse), and I now have a redone parking brake at almost $500.

Sigh. Oh well, now I can get her inspected and be driving again!

Yeah, I paid my shop to do that and a brake system flush. I don't have a good space to do all that in, and getting the time to do it is a whole 'nother issue.

At least it's done, now. :rolleyes:
