My cousin did about the same on his dodge truck but the metal shavings it was throwing embedded themselves in his new $5k paint job and have now started rusting.

LOL, i used to work at Firestone way back when I was younger, and this dude with an Exploder came in and said it was pulling to the left. Test drove it, yep it's pulling left. Put it on the lift and pulled off the wheels and the right hand rotor looked exactly like that. I was like well no wonder fucknuts, hahahaha. I asked him "man, you never heard the brakes squealing?" he was like "yeah, but it stopped, so I kept driving it"

I've seen people drive on metal to metal brakes till it cut the rotor in two UnFreakinbelievable!!and one guy gave us a bad check for his repairs- I filed it with the D.A. and did you know if you cant ID the writer they could only tell him about it BUT if you can I/D them they will arrest them, so suddenly I remembered what he looked like we soon had payment but not without giving him some greif!
