^ Darn! I haven't run it since '04 that year when I had so much brake trouble in my Z06. I snapped my brake line while torqueing a brake caliper bolt after a rotor swap!

^ me in a hurry not paying attention to the fact that my torque wrench was hitting the metal fitting of my SS line where it connects to the caliper.
The thing just snapped off... wasn't too impressed as I didn't push that hard!
I ended up having to go to my parents house in Greensboro and steal the oem line off of my mother's '99 vert and plug hers up until they cold order one through GM.
Missed 1/2 my track time on Saturday, but got out there early on Sunday and got things working again. Wasn't much fun at all, but Sunday went fine.
No I always carry spare lines with me (well when I was running a C5 I did).
