First of all the rain in sunny so cal is gone. Drove through a small puddle yesterday and my car died. Wait for a few minutes and then it started. Then i went to return a movie, pulled the emergency brake when i went to park and the damn cable snapped. Anyone have expierence changing these. I ordered the new one today. It was the cable that goes from the drivers side rear to the t where both cables hook up. Any tips or advice would be great.
