Story: I need to get across town so my friend lends me her old Mercedes. She warned me the brake light was on and the car had trouble slowing down, but since it was only a short trip, I wasn't worried. I drove onto the freeway wearing my Birkenstock Yao sandals and floored the gas pedal. The old car perked up and I was going over a 100mph before I knew it.

On the way down the brakes were gone, like, totally gone. I pumped them but I couldn't stop.
