Post by gt5094stang »

Just thought i would share a little advice to the people that dont check everything on there maintenance inspections. ONe of the small things i over looked almost left me stranded....Lubing cables are overlooked and well if they are over looked they dont get attention to, and heres what happens!!!! Don't do what i did :duh: lol

My first trip to a drag strip ended that way on the side of interstate 275 in Fl. Having a good friend with a truck came in handy that day

Brake cable similar to that snapped on a mountain bike of mine a few years ago hurtling down a muddy hill and stuffed me in to an oak tree at 35mph!! broke 3 ribs and a collar bone!

taught me a lesson though! check 'em!

you're a lucky man!!

all i can say is, I love hydraulic brakes and clutches now!!
