Very real concern, at least in older and heavier cars. Hot brakes don't work well, engine braking is harmless and makes it much easier to control pace.

The best way I can describe is going down a big hill with just brakes feels like you're on a slippery steel slide, trying to use your hands to stop. Engine braking feels like you're on an escalator, where if you just stay where you are, you'll get to the bottom at a consistent speed.

Whatever money I would spend on music streaming, I spend on Bandcamp Friday.

There's one this week people!

Great for when you need to cry, though.
