Welcome to the IHoP

Oh, and FUCK YOU Rock Auto. Sent me pads that "fit" only to make me run to Benz and pay fucking $177 for the rear pad set since they were the wrong size. $30 to $180 sucks. Would have just slapped the old ones back in, but of course in classic Sean fashion I cracked the rotor removing the caliper. Little lip + powdered metal = brittle.

How in the fuck does one crack a rotor removing pads? I have been doing this for almost a decade longer than Stefan has been alive and I have never cracked a rotor removing pads... I have cracked rotors trying to beat them off a frozen spindle, and even had to cut Ford rotors off with a torch (horrible design), but just removing pads?

Cracked I meant in a slightly different way than it read as in cracked the lip off. Took a little of the rotor with it as in less than a 1/3 of a toothpicks worth. That being said I wasn't interested in driving like I do with it on the car anymore. I've never seen it either and while I am sure you've done thousands of more brakes than I have, these weren't my first.

Ha! Definitely stylin and profilin.

I just want to know where they got them as they'd probably fit.

All I can think of is you jamming out to Turtle Neck and Chain.

Making me laugh so hard. Wife thinks I lost it.

I don't even know who that is.

Used to be when I'd do brakes I'd look at the pads/rotors and wonder how the fuck something so small can slow me down. These don't leave you with that same feeling.

A wee bit cleaner. I am SO happy to be rid of the semi-metals in the front. 2 stops and the wheels used to be filthy

Flip it so we can spy the AMG.

Not flipped, but you can spy the AMG without me leaving my couch.

You just had to throw that in there--Asshole.

Speaking of cars. Parked mine today, and noticed a puddle of oil. Thought: "motherfucker." Lifted the hood, dipstick was hanging out, and had a bunch more cactus dragged in.

I will kill you all packrats!

Luckily the oil level was good.

Perhaps if it was surpressed, and had we had more land between us and the neighbors. :P
