Spooky!

Just before christmas, my brother stopped by with his whole fam damily. He mentioned his brake light was on and it was making "some grinding noise". Had a look, and sure enough no pad left and the rotors were starting to get chewn. He was going to drive to Montreal like that (600 miles), with his wife and two kids. He thought I was being dramatic and condescending when I told him it was seriously dangerous... wouldn't listen.

I pulled the "trump card" and told his wife and 12 yr old stepdaughter that the car was seriously unsafe. My brother was pissed, but he got the car fixed within a couple days.
