Is anyone else interested in cars and motorsport?

My wife somehow got a rock caught between her rotor and rotor guard on her car one time and it sounded wayyyyyyyy worse than what it was. The screeching was horrible. I once replaced spacers on my car with ones a few millimeters narrower, did it all went to move the car and it woukd only go about 4" and stop. Wondering what was going on I figured out the lug bolts (not nuts on a bmw) were now too long and getting hung on the rotor guard. Had to cut all of them down with a Dremel. That was a headscratcher but figured it our, I was like what da ****!

Yeah, I know that rock in the brakes screech! Its pretty bad. And that sounds a bit odd!

Ouch. Reminds me of one time while I was driving down the interstate in my s10 when the muffler came loose and sparked flames at traffic behind me. I don’t know what’s worse…The sound of metal on metal or metal on pavement

I'm surprised you got an s10 to hold together long enough to get down the on ramp.

My second vehicle was a 1990ish s10. Wish I never sold it. Neither my first, a 78 2 door Malibu with a 350 swap from the v6. Bought and sold before I got my license

What the bolts? Yes it is? The wheels are hubcentric as opposed to lugcentric like most vehicles. They can be difficult to get off the car if they been on a while. When installing I put grease or neverseize to prevent galvanic corrosion or they will pretty much weld themselves together

Yep. It’s the first truck I ever bought and that was 12+yrs ago.

‘98 V4 RWD 5-speed manual with over 214,500 odo miles on it now:

I still drive it on an almost daily basis and it even makes it up the steep hills in my backyard…Which is badass ‘cos you wouldn’t think that it would make it up there.
