My sister-in-law Barbara bought a 2002 white Saturn L200 during college. My dad kept it around his house so that visitors like my sister and I, and also him and his dog Tracey, could toy around town. I liked to use it, too, because my mom's Buick has too many blind spots and I don't like to take her car from her when I'm there. Well, I drove Tracey to the PetSmart for a bath and nail cut one day, and there were bad smells and smoke coming from the front passenger tire. I called my dad and he said "just come straight home". So I took Kuser Rd (was close to being lost, it had been so long!) so I could go 25 mph...and at a green light I had to turn right and HAD NO BRAKES! .... I jake braked with a slight jolt and ended up hanging out with my dad and Tracey and random police officers for about an hour before the tow truck arrived. Later, in May 2021, my dad laid the car to rest. Rest in peace, Gandalf.
