Replying to EEEEEEk brakes are important

Had a kind of exciting ride last night, driving my buddy home, everythings normal coming up to a stop sign, downshift and start to slow down to see my abs light is on, and suddenly my brakes no workie, still have a long way so im thinking hmm maybe i missed the pedal or something (not that i have an idea how i could but its my story so there) try again to find that now my car has no brakes at all and were going right throught that stop. Luckily it was a long straight road and by downshifting, and handbrake i was able to stop.

As we stop my buddy admits to me while i was in the house compressing the spring off my struts he smacked the brake line with a hammer tapping a new bushing in...... look back and the bolt holding the brake line was suuuuper lose and leaking like crazy, all the brake fluid to my rears had drained. Kinda sketchy ride home to his garage where we managed to bleed lines and it works good now. no moral just kinda exiting....city driving with no brakes is unerving, a 10 min drive took over half an hour. Still debating killing him but he helped me fix it so hmmmm

note to self avoid blowing motor....again
