My '62 Lincoln was 5400 pounds on the hoof. Imagine my joy when I blew the 
master cylinder on my way to work. No dual systems on that puppy. It was 
in an industrial park and the parking lot was uphill from the road so I 
could drift in for a gentle landing.

I'd blown a master in my '51 Chevy but between the manual transmission and 
a real handbrake it wasn't a problem. I've never had to use it in those 
circumstances but I'm happy the Toyota has a real handbrake instead of the 
foot operated latching type.
