I'm glad my antique car has 4 wheel disc brakes

I was doing about 40 down the road I live on and I had a full size deer jump out in front of me only giving me a few feet to slow down. The scariest part is that I pushed the brake pedal down as far as it would go and I didn’t lock em’ up. Even with the 13 year old uniroyal tigerpaws gripping the tar and gravel road. So yeah I might need to look at the brakes next.

This also proves that a loud car doesn’t keep wild animals away.

My 4runner with drums in the back stops well. ABS works sometimes

Sounds fun. A couple years ago I attended the prestigious Eyes on Design show, wherein someone had driven their pristine early 60's Cadillac from the Toronto area to Detroit, and hit a deer on the way. It still went into the show, but they put a sign on it to the effect of “LOL deer amirite”.

Scary ish.

On a related note, I’m halfway through replacing the drums and shoes on my F-100. The brakes are decently strong as-is, but I’m excited to see if they’ll get better with new equipment.

Do deer whistles work?

I don’t think it’s been proven that work but it also hasn’t been proven that they don’t work. But I will say as someone who lives in the country I’m seeing less and less deer whistles all the time.

Maybe whistle tips would work. Sounds like a train go WOO WOOOO!

Just wondering what your thoughts are on this.

Deer, because having a nice car in the country is tough.

Alfas normally stop pretty good. Sounds like a detailed inspection is in order.

Hard stops in the wet or on loose surfaces have a bit of lock but it’s perfectly straight and predictable. I never really have needed the ABS, it’s more of a “does it work?” It works when it feels like it.

Replace the brake hoses? Check for leaks too.

the only thing that proves, is that your car is not loud ENOUGH yet....
