Few drops of tear

In those days with few dollars, limited knowledge and no thirdgen, a non-working parking brake was low priority on budget. Things has changed since, thirdgen is here, and after installing new calipers and 3 new parking brake cable, I pulled the parking brake lever today. Few drops of tear came out. Rear wheels are locked.

I cried. After many years, parking brake works perfectly.
