118. That's my plan

Nov 2013

I'll get it fixed within the 10 days, thanks to help from fellow DUers, and bring my proof to the hearing. The cop said if I did that, everything would be waived.

Could you trade in the two cars for one that works? MADem Nov 2013 #3

I have a relative who sold his shitbox car to a junkyard for two hundred bucks. MADem Nov 2013 #25

I will look into that Tree-Hugger Nov 2013 #27

that's great TorchTheWitch Nov 2013 #133

I was gonna say the same thing hfojvt Nov 2013 #56

I have heard the same about the pads Tree-Hugger Nov 2013 #59

Bad cylinders can ruin rotors/drums, but it's rare, Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #73

Okay...that makes me feel better Tree-Hugger Nov 2013 #76

Yes, you would definitely hear grinding and feel it through your brake pedal, Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #82

Uh oh... Tree-Hugger Nov 2013 #84

The vibrating may be due to uneven brake pad wear due to a bad caliper, Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #87

Whew Tree-Hugger Nov 2013 #89

No problem, Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #90

It's really simple to rebuild cylinders and calipers, Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #67

I'm going to ask around Tree-Hugger Nov 2013 #72

That's good that it's a 2009, Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #79
