F-ing brakes

[Raven]

that thump, thump, thump

can happen as a result of rust on the rotor from it just sitting

so there can be nothing but a little rust making that happen.

My beast is rather heavy so since i have a lead foot i always make sure it can stop real FAST........

you never know when someone is gonna lock them up for no reason what so ever.

Had a guy yesterday pull in front of me so fast that i thought i was going to clip his rear corner and roll his car like the police do for a Runner.... good thing --->i was driving slow .......

Well we were hoping that it was something as easy and as cheap as that but NOPE! Even thought it may just be the ABS sensor. The rotors were actually squared! Could not even be turned.
That is from driving constantly with a 2500(empty) 5500 full camper on the back.
I am lucky to have a mechanic in the family and we trade labor costs.
I can't stop fast when driving that thing so I just pray that the morons stay out of my way.

that reminds of an episode....ha ha ha
thinking about it being squared....

i'm driving my Hot VW down route 6 leaving fairhaven heading
EAST....and all of a sudden as i round the curve....
i see this tire pass me and boogie down the road....

i'm laughing....saying some friggan idiot just lost a tire....
but the idiot was me.... suddenly the car tilts
and i can barely control it to a stop.....
as i see the tire still going and it hits this lady's Cadillac

i get out to survey the Damage and she comes over to give me a bunch
of crap about my tire hitting her car...
so i let her rant and Rave for awhile....

then i started to get real MAD -> like dangerous now
and i stood up from a crouched position and said
LOOK lady i wasn't driving the dammed tire !
and i had no control where it was going...
steam coming out of my Nostrils.....

my can of spinach was about to be opened ---LOL

she then got the message and stormed off screaming obscenities
so i yelled, well then F U too - ya crazy Beotch - laughing...

omg! he got it right.... HEY mikey ! thanks Frank

that was many years ago... and i was lucky i didn't roll
the damn car.... the curve i was in saved me from that...
==========================================
i rolled a bug and flipped it many times 5 years later....
and almost got killed by my heavy tool box as we both tumbled inside...
i quit driving VW's (bugs) after that...

finally i was ejected out of the rear side window and launched
150 feet down the road.... i remember looking down at the tree tops
thinking i had fallen from an airplane...

i had a really good concussion and allot of glass in my face and back
....but didnt break any bones... but i sure did bruise most of them.....
my wife took one look at me and instantly Barfed....

when i looked in the mirror .... it was like someone else was looking back...
and that's real scary

that was friday...i was back to work on monday...

->at the shop.....no one gave me any sh!t after that day....

[Raven]

I just dropped off the fishin vehicle..... for repairs...

My truck I have on the mainland has brake problems every coupe years and it happened again yesterday. It sits in a parking lot near the water year round and doesn't get used for months on end. Sometimes as long as 5 or 6 months. Then I jump into it and hit the highway. I have brought it in several times and they say there is nothing wrong, just that I need to use it more. I may just replace everything.
Breaks suck. Trailer brakes, truck brakes, I have break problems constantly.
