Re: IML: Dual vs. Single Pot suppliment

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

I forgot to mention something in my earlier my reply to this. 

I have two friends who have driven around with only one half of the master cylinder full of fluid. They did not realize that the first half had failed, until much later when the second half failed and the brakes were gone completely. One of these friends was involved in a serious rear ender crash on the freeway. She is currently blaming a Jiffy Lube style place where the car was being serviced. She is claiming that the shop apparently was not checking the master cylinder during regular service. Because of this, no one was alerted that something was wrong in the first place. 

It further points out that no amount of upgrading can replace proper service and responsible driving skills.
