The brakes had stopped the Jeep before the pedal hit the floor, so it really
wasn't bad at all. Just one of those "Oh Sh*&" moments.

The extortion station was 1/4 mile from my house, so I just drove home in
first gear.

Went to the shop today, only to find the familiar faces I know not working
there any longer. Two older gentlemen were working, one was not limber
enough to get his leg up into my jeep. These two guys tag teamed my safety
inspection and it took them 15-20 minutes. They checked everything they
could think of. They even noticed that my rear license plate was a little
loose. Then for the visual part of the emissions test they printed a vacuum
diagram to compare it with my engine, and even tugged on hoses to verify
that they were properly attached. When he came in and told me that it
passed I about fainted. After that it passed the sniffer in the tail pipe
emissions test as well. This is better than a birthday!
