Hopefully this child pulls through. A smaller, faster braking vehicle might have made a difference. Please think about that.

I hate to say it, but probably not. It's a Jeep Patriot, the thing only weighs between 3,133 - 3,373 lbs. to begin with, it couldn't get much lighter these days. The last Mercedes SLK Roadster weighed more than that (3,417 lbs.).

The only way you're getting that thing to brake faster is paying for good tires and quality brake parts, neither of which I have a lot of faith in the driver of that hunk of crap doing.
