    I think this is bad news...

    Well today i was driving home from school and this happened. Some damn twine got in my rims and it caused me to actually swerve out of control because the back left tire locked up. how it did it and how it got there is beyond my knowledge, but i guess this means new brembos? haha sad that i needed this to get those...

    Have you tried to take off your wheels, take apart the brakes, and see if that helps? But yeah, get new brembo's anyway :)

    sprinkle some lighter fluid in there and light it, should burn off quickly, just stand there with a hose in case the rest of the car catches on fire...




    no no no, please don't do that
