So my truck's brakes decided that rolling down the freeway at 70 mph was a good time to suddenly lose brake pressure. There's nothing like the thrill of putting your foot on the pedal and it sinks to the floor while you're in more than a ton of rolling steel and suddenly feel like you're just along for the ride! Fortunately, even with an automatic transmission downshifting is still a thing and I was able to nurse it off the road to a stop so I could get it towed to a shop without any damage. Brakes are like air: they're no big deal until you don't have them.
Been there... Had my left rear brake puke up a seal while I was driving in San Francisco once. Not the most enjoyable experience.
