MossMan Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Wow, Michael's eye went directly over the Alabama-Georgia-Florida border as a Major Hurricane. This is probably the first time in history a major hurricanes eye has been in 3 states at the same time.

We drove from Minnesota to Florida in that thing in August 1978. It was a little warm! Mine was lime green with faux wood panels. Bought it for $300 in 1990, put new tires on it and drove it until it died. Good thing about it, was I could throw an air mattress and sleeping bag in the back and I had a nice little "RV" for fishing trips all over the West. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Defense Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Just turn the rotors, they'll be fine!! I've never had luck with turning rotors. Did it as a poor starving college student and they warped within a month or 2 (this is on the first turning). Granted, my driving style had a lot to do with it (aircraft carrier landing style stops....aircraft carrier launch style take offs too for that matter...went through a lot of clutches). I've mellowed with my old age, but I'm still not one to just coast to a stop, so I still go through brakes pretty fast. The difference now is that I can afford to buy new rotors when I change the brakes (doing them myself keep the price from getting too out of control).

Omegaraptor Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Latest 80°F on record in Portland is 10/21.

Brakes I usually have to replace every 3 years or so (mostly highway driving), while in that same period I'll get a dozen or so oil changes. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

I probably go through brakes quicker than average since I do a lot of mountain and backroads driving, so it beats spending several hundred every few years to have someone else do it.
