is this the end of the deathcab? part III

so, i'm in yet another tow truck driving to yet another auto shop. this driver is pretty alright too. explained the brake situation to him; he seems to think the guys who replaced my brake line yesterday didn't bleed the lines properly. hopefully, that's all it is. so we're chatting - he's talking about his wife and how most women around here don't drive; it's the man's thing to do. "but yah, i let her drive. she's put more miles on her car in the last two years than she did in the previous..." silence... SCREECH!!! the person in front of us stops short at a yellow light, and the tow truck driver slams on the brakes. my car and the truck jerk forward and back and i can see my hubcap fly off. hmm...great, i don't even get to wreck my own car. i get out and take a look. doesn't seem to be any damage; just the flying hubcap. pick it up; get back in the truck and continue to the service station. the truck driver is fuming; doesn't want to talk. to lighten the mood i say, "well, maybe that fixed my brake problem." he remains silent.
