Well im comin out of 711 with my bud and my girl. and i thought there was a driveway but obviously i was mistaken... BOOM i went down a curb
ok whatever no big deal,

half hour later, car cuts out on me in 4th gear. Cars still moving though, engine running at cruising RPMS, no steering, stiff brakes
WTF

Just a question, but how can your engine still be going at cruise RPMS but you have no power steering or brakes?

Your engine is still turning your pump and creating vacume?

We have hydroboost brakes, not vacuum assist.

I'd also like to know how you didn't have power steering even though the pump was still being spun.
