The Moneypit, Volume (Never count): Rear Brakes
As is so often the case when you’re playing stupid games and win a stupid prize the only answer to you problems is to throw money at them.
Parking Lot Mechanic: Brake Job Demo and Track Day Autospy
Through a series of strange decisions yesterday night I ended up doing a brake pad swap in the parking lot during a car meet I regularly attend. Why, is probably the first question you might ask and there are a lot of reasons. Dollar tacos are a big one, but also supporting the community via education and promoting a…
