using an emergency brake while going over 90 mph may not be the best idea...  | |

[Edited 3/16/10 15:00pm] Not just move, but go 90 mph. I just don't understand if he pressed his brakes while going that fast, to the point of burning up his pads and rotors, how does the car not stop immediately or slow down drastically and visibly???  | |
