LoL No E brake or anything, huh. Damn that must have been nerve-wracking to drive!
It took TWO weeks for the parts to arrive. The brakes were failing for longer than that and then completely failed.
I tell you what, if you ever want to learn how to drive smoothly and with grace, drive without brakes in a city. You gotta be on point the entire time.
I think I want this piece for inside the house, either in my foyer or in the basement:

Do you have a huge foyer?
Yeah, you come through a 'mud room' and into the foyer, assuming you come in through those doors. It's the big doors in the front. You go in and you go into the mud room (coats/hats/gloves/mittens/boots get dropped off there). Then, you go into a foyer with stairways heading up and a high ceiling. I've thought about putting a grand piano in there, but I really want a car in that spot.
I also have a space in my basement where it's finished and formal(ish). Kinda a downstairs den type of thing. That's my other choice of places to put the car - but I think that space may end up being taken up by a new room for the guitar collection. I'm not sure yet. I'm still mulling it over.
I have a pretty big house. I refrain from calling it a mansion, 'cause that's just pretentious. I tend to just call it my house, or 'the estate' if I'm referring to the whole thing. Whilst I have a few bucks, I try not to flaunt it too much. Yes, I own nice things - but I don't really flaunt the money aspect. If that makes sense. I'm very aware of how much good luck has affected my lifestyle and I am keenly aware of those who have not had such good fortunes.
