someone else seriously cut your brakes?! I'm glad that you're not dead, too!

Sasquatch is the only explanation that makes sense to me... guagualoca July 15 2006, 03:37:24 UTC

Actually, no one cut my brakes that I know of. What happened was I got on the freeway, and next thing I knew my car wouldn't stop accelerating. I freaked and tapped the brakes, but I just kept accelerating. So, then I slammed on the brakes, and still I did not slow down. I drove for about a mile putting as much pressure on the brakes as I possibly could (while this wasn't slowing me down, it WAS stablizing my speed), trying to pull the gas pedal up with my foot--only to have it flop back down. Finally, as I quickly approached the end of the exit ramp, and seemed to be losing control of my steering as I drove through the dirt of the curb, I threw the car into park. The car finally stopped only to growl at me as the engine continued to try to gain speed. All I could think was that I had to bail out into the other exiting traffic before my car exploded. So, I grabbed the keys and prepared to hurl myself from the car just as I began to feel incredibly foolish for not thinking sooner to turn the engine off. Then, the skunkish ( ... )

Well Sasquatch was jealous of your wheels and he crawled under the car to gnaw on the brake line. Sasquatch enjoys the taste of brake fluid because it reminds him of the sweet n' spices juices of Uncle Bubba's BBQ Pit in the hills of West Virginny. So the car attack was one part jealousy and one part addiction to brake fluid. Thus the mythic beast wanders to wilds of the country... searching for a taste of his bbq past.
