I was driving along and suddenly the brake pedal went very soft... pulled over and found a healthy new leak in the brake line (rust)... so there I was in the middle of nowhere.... using a handy dandy set of vice grips (don't leave home without them) I cut the line by the leak and folded it back on itself 4 or 5 times to be able to get pressure back into the other three brakes.

Yeah, I was shy a good deal of braking power... but I was able to get home safely.
