After the Cougar Whisperer fixed my alarm issue, the grinding noise I kept hearing got louder. Initially thinking it was a bearing, I finally examined the wheel hubs and discovered my rear brakes had been severely neglected. Having changed my front brakes 3 times, my stock rear pads had finally worn down to bare metal thanks to a caliper seize. My trip to get the rotors turned ended badly when both rotors flew off my motorcycle and into traffic, rolling to the curb behind me (well at least one did, for all I know the other one is lodged in somebodies radiator). Now the brakes responsible for 20% of my braking are back to 100%, which by multiplication means I can now stop 2,000% better!

Damn bad brake luck. I have 54k miles on my TA and the back brakes are doing the same. I'm guessing they wore out a lot quicker thanks to Milan drag way.

Amazed Brad's didn't go sooner with the SCCA and track days.

Based on how many times he tapped the jetta's rear bumper, I'm suprised he's used his brakes at all.
