it's called an emergency brake for a reason . my years of racing taught me first kill the engine, pull the laundry or ebrake then drive the car. i would have threaded it between the black suv and the white car to the left. way less damage .
I've read that even the uber purist stock only restoration guys will make that one modification if the car is meant to be driven.And I'll never run a single reservoir master cylinder again. Could had ended much much worse.
a blowed up trans is way cheaper.
With the video as evidence, the owner of the van may be the new owner of the Comet!Your all right about this....lets call it "incident"!! All the things he could of or would of done. I only have one thing to say....You can't fix stupid!!!
I feel sorry for the person in the van...
