My car brake light came on and the brake fluid is all over the parking lot at work, now I have to drive home 35 miles thru city/hwy/city again to get home, how am I goint to do this with ebrakes? damnit.

Put in brake fluid since none were in their since it had all leaked out, it would just slowly leak out, so seems like a busted brake line? I hope something not expensive.

I'd suggest you get your car towed to the mechanic/dealer to get it fixed. It's extremely unsafe to drive without brakes and rely on your e-brakes only!

Why are you even considering driving the car?? Get it towed. It is not worth risking your safety driving with no brakes!

I guess you guys are really smart like I thought you were, I am not getting it towed, I am not driving it either. I am getting a ride home and coming back the next day to fix it. I only drove around the big parking lot at the hospital too see how it is and parked it in a very busy area so no clowns be messin with it.

Thank goodness there were no idiots to suggest that I drive it home, after reading so many dumb post here I started feeling that us Maxi enthusiast were a bunch of pathetic foolz, but I was right, I was right that I know we were better than that.

Thanks for all the positive and correct answer for this one peepz, mad propz to y'all oh, btw, I am purdy sure I cannot make it to the NJ June 3rd meet, sowwy peepz.

Unless you know exactly what's wrong, it will be hard to do any repairs in a parking lot. If you have to replace a ms or a brake line, it's pretty hard to bleed brakes in the field. Not impossible but a big pain.
