mike, i called you on friday like you said too, but again you werent around. let me know if and when you have an hour that we can use your garage to get my car back on the road. i think all i have to do is put on new pads on the rear pass side, for some reasone the pad is rubbing all the time and when i put on the brakes that pad grabbs first and causes it to brake really bad and unsafe. maybe the calaper is froze shut. but like i said call me as soon as possible man. i really really really would appreciate your help on this one, its so hard not to have a car when you first move somewhere. luckly i have been taking the bus to school but i really need to get this looked at. its not safe enough to drive up to your shop or else i would have done that on wed like you said. i can have it towed there, but i figure it would be easier to just drive it to your house. let me know if i should just toe it to a local mechanic or if i can rely on you to help me out. brian
