Well, just make sure regardless who is at fault that your brakes are working good in the end... thats one part you need working lol. My 78 bronco has crappy brakes, and after having to put it into a ditch at about 45MPH to avoid flattening a little hatchback (metro I think it was) that decided to stop on a highway on ramp (long story), well I decided I am going to upgrade the whole brake system before its on the road again. I had the pedal to the floor and could tell I was going to need... well about a hundred more feet to stop... so of into the mud it went (was all muddy since they were working on widining the roads). The piled up dirt and mud infront of my locked up tires was about up to my bumper when it finally stopped.
