75mph and no brakes..... Photography and Digital Camera

This is ranking up there with one of the worst things I've had happen in a while.
Travelling down Interstate 80 at 75mph and realize I no longer have brakes!
I had the cruise control set and when I went to tap the brakes to kick it off it just didn't feel quite right, so I touched the brakes again and this is when I realize they're gone. :eek: I felt my heart just about leap out of my chest!

I am just so lucky I didn't need to stop fast. I was able to slowly get down to where I could shift to 3rd, then 2nd, then all the way down to low and get off on the shoulder and coast to a stop.

But seriously, I am getting way too old for this kind of excitement....
