The actual buildings don’t even need to go away. Turn them into delivery centers and maintenance/repair (which is already there). I want to order a car online, get ALL the paperwork finalized online, then go in to review/sign a couple documents, get my keys and leave.

My 66 Mustang has manual drum brakes. Driving it around town is no issue. You DO need to push the pedal harder. But one thing to remember is that the geometry of drum brakes makes them sort of self-assist. And the old mustangs are light cars at around 2800lbs.

For lower speed city driving, manual brakes are fine. If I were to drive it on highways, or anything faster than 45mph, I’d want a power disc setup. I’ve toyed with the idea of doing a manual disc setup, but the more I think about it, it’s just not worth it.

Wanting to downgrade from power brakes in any car doesn’t make sense if it’s something you want to track in any fashion. You’re taking your most important safety system and making it significantly less functional.
