Unhappy My first FD breakdown - took 3.5 months!

Went to take the car for a wash today and while I was waiting the car stalled. Took it out of gear and pushed the clutch - it was already on the floor?!? What had gone - first I figured **** the wdge collar / ring has released on the pull type clutch, in this case a Centerforce. But thankfully the hydraulic hose had burst - a lot cheaper fix. I havn't been stranded by a vehicle in over 20 years! Except running out of gas I hope this isn't the sign of things to come!

naa just a sign to upgrade..put a SS clutch line, those stock rubber POS's are bound to pop

at least it was a 30$ part and nothing crazy
if you mantain it, it shoulndtbe a sign of things to come, i mean **** breaks on all cars, its just we have some harsher enviroments to deal with, namely underhood temps wich rubber hoses dont like..i think the milage and the lange of the line was the culprit...but like i said, its an excuse to upgrade
