My booster went completely out today and I actually saw the Valet boy in charge almost hit a parked car. I told him, Next time, I'm never gonna let anyone drive my Vette!! God, I was thoroughly pissed!!

I'm lucky I have super stong legs. I could leg press the whole 500 lbs in the weight room about 10 times and do a couple of 200 lb leg extensions after that. I probably can beat most rice less than 2.0L off the line on foot. LOL, Not bad for my body weight of just 125 lbs!! A dead powerbraking system really doesn't bother me anyways. I guess it can also be an extra theft deterrance measure here. Once I see the thief crash it, I'll put him at gun point and make him "bite the curb" like in that movie American History X. Sorry I'm still kinda pissed so please excuse my steam...

I installed a METAL booster, not a plastic one. I think that whatever broke was inside the booster. As soon as I take it out I will let you know what I find.
