My bigass tow package brakes work pretty well. If I haven't used them recently.

You should do the m0d where you toss out the smaller leading shoes and just replace them with the more biggerer trailing shoes.

That's a great local brewery that we have. Do I drink their beer? No.

Reminds me of my steel-rimmed bike's brakes in the rain.

You don't really say what type of area but we'll pretend the speed limit was 45- you were going 90mph if that's the case.  35->70.  I understand you wanted to get away from him but in most places you're still responsible for criminal and civil liability so it's not worth it.  You should've had the dispatcher give you directions to the closes PD or squad car.   The only problem for most people is many PD's and FD's aren't manned after normal business hours- most being most across the country.  Best bet in that situation is stay calm- drive safely- and contact the police with as much info as you possibly can.  Staying calm helps with the other 2- driving safe helps you stay calm and not hurt anyone else because the guys obviously wants you in front of him so there's no need to go super fast.  Other then the driving twice whatever the posted speed was it seems like you did fine.
