Have a look and see if the rear brake line didn't take some damage in that trip.
No damage visible to the brake lines, front or rear, brake fluid reservoir is full.

I dunno.... it did happen more than once...

my 4yo daughter hasn't ever taken off with mommies car or either of my trucks...

we keep all of our vehicles locked. even if they weren't: she knows not to touch, and it helps that they are ALL manual transmissions

Took off my front driveshaft today to change my ujoint. Got the one cap off and was 90% done the other when my finger took the force of a full small sledge swing. 6 stitches later and a fingernail, the ujoint is out. Going to get my buddy to give me a hand putting the new one in tomorrow. It's a little hard with one hand out of commission. Lesson of the day: hold onto vice grips instead of the punch.
