RE: [DML] Soft Brakes (Bad Brakes!)

["Gus Schlachter" <gus@xxxx>]

Gary,

Failing to stop intermittently is still what we consider "bad". :-)

Seriously, your brake master cylinder has failed, I had the same excitiment
with my car when I first bought it. DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR. You are risking
your life. There are replacements available, or I vaguely recall other
DMLers that had theirs rebuilt.

Good luck,
