Not so funny story

Recently, my car's front breaks started making these nasty scraping sounds. I talk to a few people, they say get new break pads. I drive to my parent's (with Keester) because it would save money to have my dad do it (even with paying for the gas round trip). We get into the job, and find out the break squealy tabs have broken off on the right side (the tab that makes noise when it is about time to change your break pads because they about to die and you about to have no breaks). Dad says "Man! good thing you came. soon it would have been scraping your break router and you would have had not breaks!" they were that bad.

Then we get to working on the right side, bad news, that break pad was gone and part of my router too, it had been scraped away. In other words, that scraping sound i heard was metal on metal. not good. luckily, we were able to find a new router for about $30. Thus making it so Keester and i could get back to NE and he could go to work as planned today.

So, moral of the story: the last owner of this car was dumb about cars. Turns out, the little squealy tabs were broken off by him, before I got the car! That means, he should have changed the breaks, but did not. Good thing I did not have to stop in a hurry before my dad fixed my car because it would not have happened.

Seeing how previous owner no good with cars, we checked the back breaks while we were at it. They are good.
