you either didn't read what i wrote and think that i drove my car to maine, or your criticism of me going somewhere while my poor ole' car sits at home alone is only because you think my life should start and stop with my car even when i planned the trip months advanced. either way, shut up about it, because it doesn't help, is insulting, and is utterly irrelevant. the only reason i even mentioned the trip was for anecdotal reasons, and it was important to mention that the car had been sitting for 4 days. this forum does not serve as a venue for you to criticize those who you do not think know how to maintain a car as well as you do-it is a venue to help people maintain their cars. there is an opinion forum on this site if you wish to express yours-car maintenance threads are no place to say such things and as you can see, detracts from the purpose of the thread (well, i guess i could've ignored you). if you are going to continue passing judgment i ask you respectfully to not reply to my threads anymore-and if not for that reason, then for the simple fact that i have not received one helpful reply from you since i began posting on this site.



there are no leaks that i could find, and the brake fluid level is where it should be, as it has since i got the car.
through this website i was able to discern that a brake failure light flickering could just be a grounding issue, and since the brakes worked flawlessly through 8 months of ownership, including a pad and rotor change in the first month, i felt safe in assuming that it was an electrical issue, as these cars are known for such things-especially one that is 28 years old with over 240K on its ticker. today i feel safe in assuming that my master cylinder crapped the bed. perhaps it was a many month long crapping of the bed, but it showed no signs of crapping before this week other than a light that would sometimes flicker, and sometimes wouldn't come on for an entire commute.
