test vehicle brakes

To make sure the car is safe for the road, I took it to an empty lot and did a series of hard stops from different speeds. I paid attention to how the pedal felt, whether the car pulled to one side, and if there was any weird vibration through the steering wheel. Everything felt solid and responsive, so I'm confident the brakes are in good working order.
