Lost all brakes today

Just a PSA regarding brakes on our 4th gens. It had new EBC brakes on the front and stop techs on the back. I did a 2hr highway drive today with lots of stop and go / heavy braking. When I finally got off the highway I noticed the brakes not holding the rig at stop lights, but it was very slight. I drove another couple blocks and the brake pedal went straight to the floor. I managed to get it into a parking lot and called a tow truck and had it piggy backed to a shop.

I didn't diagnose anything but squirting and brake fluid was happening at the drivers front and I assume its a popped brake line from corrosion due to the rigs age. Check your brake lines! Its extremely freaky losing all braking out in heavy traffic.

That's one thing about my inspection guy, he is really picky on brake lines which I guess is a good thing. He notices they are going bad before they fail.
