dancing? singing? posting? No - actually, I meant, I just can't stop!

Went to move the old bird out of the garage last night (5 degrees this morning - wanted my daily driver inside!), popped it into reverse, and suddenly the back half of my car was already out of the garage. Backed it down the driveway in neutral, and was able to stop at the bottom of the driveway.

Brake pedal goes right to the floor, and right as it hits rock bottom, the brakes start to catch a bit, and the "brake" light comes on the dash. I'm thinking "I know - I'm *trying* to brake!". Now I know why they call them idiot lights. :p Made sure the parking brake held the car in neutral, then shifted into park and shut 'er down.

Last time I had driven the car I noticed the brakes seemed lacking. And then when I moved the car into the garage a few weeks ago, I almost drove it straight through as I was almost unable to stop! (Merv can attest that I came within an inch of hitting a stack of tires, and other assorted garage items stacked against the wall.)

So I'm thinking I won't have much need to fix the heater this winter, as it seems I won't be driving the bird even on the "clear & sunny" days. Guess I will get back into the repair work in the spring. So much for my plans for a new stereo system.
