Default Of tow hooks and wheel brakes

Pulling the release before things get out of hand is pretty cheap, like I did on day 2. Brakes are like Goldilocks if you want to stay out of the repair shop. Too weak and here comes the fence at the end of that field. Too strong and there's a hole in your nose after the wheels lock up.
