I don't think I'd even get out of bed in the morning for $7.50 a hour. 

I'd tell them to S the D for $7.50 an hour.

I was in a rough spot when I was stuck working for them. No other places were looking for help, but I lucked out on my current dealership job. I don't roll in money, but it helped me get ahead on my Accord's payments and pay off my debts.

January this year was awful for me. My last job, they had me helping with an apartment in Ronkonkama that they owned and needed refinishing. Despite supposedly being "rich", they still cheaped out on rebuilding the house practically and did it themselves...which was mostly me helping. Yeah, I worked for a custom wheel and tire place that has me doing sheetrock wall and ceiling work in a run down house. For $7.50 an hour, AND upset at me that I'm not motivated enough! Benefits? Insurance? Fuck that, they told me I should be grateful to even work for them.

Fucking bastards, so happy I left. That's just the tip of the iceberg of issues I had with them, let alone personal issues that should have never came up in the first place. >_>

Maybe with what little driving I do (4300 miles this year!) I probably won't have to worry about another caliper failing IF it's frozen. Meh, after the holidays I'll start gathering parts.

Supposedly it's supposed to be a bad winter again this year...but so far it's been oddly warm.

Feels like its 50*F today, for Odin's sake. As long as it's not like last year.

The fun of working six days a week.

It's not so bad in the winter, it makes time pass by quicker. Plus, it's too cold to be outside and such. All the more excuse to be lazy and use muh Xbox. lol

I'm not.

Pulsating pedal means warped rotors. Not really an "issue" but more of an annoyance. Not worth trying to recut, though. My front rotors are the originals, with 68K on them...surprised honestly, but my rears will get replaced once I get parts. New centric rotors, not really sure on the pads yet. Probably will get a good ceramic pad.

When I first installed my black housing headlights. Much easier with a lift.

Luckily there's no grinding from the pads (yet) as they aren't metal to metal.

Didn't know that about the rear calipers on these cars...but hey, after 18K and a year and a half of ownership, this is the car's first hiccup for me.

Now, my 03 Pontiac Grand Am in that same time...well...lol

This issue became noticeable to me the other day, "delayed" brake feel under low speeds...if I press hard on the pedal, there's a good half second before it stops. Like its not biting like it should be.

Had the car in the shop after my break and the right side caliper's pads are unevenly worn compared to the left side. Worst case scenario is the caliper is starting to fail, or it could be sticky slider pins. Didn't want to rip it apart just yet so I'm not sure.

What's the best route for replacement calipers? I'm just kinda leery on aftermarket remans...I was told to rebuild it by a friend, but I've never had a car with twist in rear calipers before. I know I'll need the special compression tool, but outside of that, kind of unknown to me.

Suggestions?

The perks of being a parts guy in a dealership.

Speaking of CV boot clamps, I should see if we have any extras.

That's basically what I'm gearing up to do.

I'm waiting until we get a new batch of grease to come in for shop use, two cars need CV axle grease repacking. It's made for cold temps, so if it's good enough for Mitsu, it's good enough for my coupe.
