According to my âShorter Oxford Eng. Dict.â, break is an alternate spelling of brake. To my surprise, even my trusty âAmer. Herit. Dict. of the Eng. Lang.â had an entry to that effect.
Even though neither dictionary says so, I suspect it is more a British usage, where they build cars with boots and bonnets and park them by the kerb. Any Aussies or Canadians out there care to comment?

Yep, pschearer, we sure do call parts of cars by those names in Oz, what would a car be without a boot and a bonnet, but we have never found some feature that could be called a pinafore. Misspellings of âkerbâ abound where the word âcurbâ is used instead.

Bad break for the cartoonist. Perhaps too much to expect someone to be able to draw and spell.
