I have seen this happen personally. Happened a few years ago. It was on a last generation Buick Century at the Buick dealer I was working at in Wisconsin. Amazingly, the older lady driving the car had no complaints. Just in for an oil change. Better yet, she refused to repair her car right then as she "had no money".

I've experienced ground off outer discs, but THIS is absolutely AWESOME!
Great post. ;-)

I am a manager at an Advance Auto and had a customer bring in a rotor/pad/caliper assembly just like this one off of a Grand Am. It was his niece's car. I laughed my ass off as I held the rotor and had the caliper hanging off of it. After selling him new parts I put the rotor in a vice and hammered the caliper from

Can't tell what's older... the brakes or that monitor?

Neutral: I had two Integra hatcbacks...a 1st gen and a 2nd gen. My dad had a 2nd gen sedan. They certainly were nice to drive and fling around, but I'd have a bit of a hard time applying the "luxury" label to them because my current first-gen Mazda 6i is as nice and outspecs them on features.

I don't know about that, there is a lot of welding pictures that suggest otherwise.

I like the fade out effect in the end, mimics the car and the driver submerging, never to be seen again. Did he survive? We'll never know.

I love cars. But I don't know enough about the mechanical aspects for this article to mean anything to me :-(

They were actually quite nice looking. It's a shame the mechanicals were, at best, humdrum.
