it's funny how many cars here have yellow or red painted drum brakes. :)

hint #2: 9 inch discs and 18 inch wheels looks BAD and stops worse.

FINALLY! No one else notices that. When I say big wheels and little brakes look dumb everyone acts like I'm crazy.

Its all about the number of displays you have in your vehicle. You need some in the trunk too so your captive can enjoy some degree of hospitality.

I always wondered why people painted the drums on their Honda's to highlight the fact that their brakes stink.
