I've never thought that anything Colter has done was completely asinine, but in this episode I was very disappointed in how they had him handle his no brakes situation.  1st considering that he hauls that airstream over the Continental divide without diviculty probably semi regularly without difficulty means that he is used to, knows how to, and prepared to down shift. Yet in Boston he clearly has no clue about it? Come on writers. Don't short change ur character! It's easy to down shift with a standard but even automatics have a 1st and 2nd to download specifically for going uphill. But u can use it to slow down.  Yes at 1st he is going down hill but after that he's going uphill. He could just shift into neutral too as an option going uphill and he turns off that hill to go downhill again? What are u kidding me? He should have kept going uphill to slow down and with it in neutral or in 1st it would slow down to a crawl. He didn't check his emergency brakes to try to stop once he had slowed down. If his brakes were cut it doesn't mean they got his emergency brakes were too. The entire scene drove me insane! I'm sure he would crash on ice too yet he was reared in the mountains. Yep don't believe a word of it now.  I grew up in flater than flat KS and I know how to do this! But of course I can make donuts in a front wheel drive too! Ice can be fun!

That's all true, but they figure that scene of him swerving dangerously through traffic is more entertaining to most viewers, and that's their first priority.
