Default WARNING: to all nnbs drivers

I had a brake line break yestreday going about 75 with a 4000+lb trailer. As i was going around the bend on the exit i hit the brake and it went to the floor. The leak is coming from the driver/rear. It made a nice cloud when burning from the exhaust.

I just figured Id post something so you guys/gals can check from time to time.

I work for GM and all I can say is theyre rotors suck, they warp very easy. My plan with my 07 is when the fronts go bad, going to slap some sloted rotors and nice pads.
