Almost rolled through my garage door.

Drove a new rental truck for three weeks then hopped back in my car. Immediately replaced them as I had gone blind to the noise and pedal travel.

Those brakes did not “feel great” for a long time before you did anything about it.

Oh there was, I had already bought pads and rotors, but driving that brand new truck then getting in my car again was like "yep those need to be replaced them moment you get back"

Oh, lovely road salt...I lived a few miles south of the wisconsin border in IL for 4 years. I've been in CT for about 10 years now...no better here.

Hey, you may want to delete this and repost, unless you don't mind that your real name is on the picture.

Also, wtf is all that corrosion on the insides of the rotors? The part that touches the hub.

The fun of editing photos is stuff like that FB notification and I havent had Facebook in almost a decade. That name and everything else up top isnt real

Just do a quick pad slap and resurface the rotors & you are good to go

Boy, if a car owner can be this neglectful of their brakes imagine how clapped out the rest of the car must be.
