Maintenance fail

I think your rotors need replacing.

That's how well a large portion of car owners maintain their vehicles.

The kind that say "if it runs, then it's fine" end up with this stuff.


And the rotor isn't the only thing to worry about, holy ruster****.

I like how the caliper is the only thing holding that rotor in place. Might wanna upsale a set of pads calipers and lines along with that haha.

This just goes to show how useless your rear brakes are.

I think the Fiat X1/9 I bought came like that. <--- old guy alert

"I dunno, when I pushed on the brakes a wierd grinding sound would come from the back so I'd just turn the radio up. Then one day it just stopped so I figured it fixed itself."

.... the rust.. it looks like it was pulled up from the seafloor

I hate the "if I ignore it, it'll magically fix itself." theory.
