    Yup. Well guess what, my oil return line was mounted on top of one of the pressure fitted brake hoses. It took two years, but finally sawed through the line last week. UGH! Good thing it was not an all out brake failure. haha

    oh yea.. I think all my cars had some sort of deal where the brake system was sort of partitioned? Like you could cut a line and you'd be left with at least 2 wheels that still had brakes? like RR, LF etc. Surely we got something like that right?
