    Hah when i had my hilariously small toyota echo.


    Turned out to be cheaper to buy new rotors for that particular car, then what the guy normally charged to turn them.

    I think it was more like a large R/C car then a real automobile.

    Yep. Hard as hell to find places to turn these days because it is more cost effective to just replace. Sadly, a lot of the new parts are very good quality. If I'm working on my own stuff, I try to get my known-good pieces turned. Nothing sucks more then shuddering from crappy rotors. It's like riding around on Godzillas personal massager.

    Yeah, bleach can't get that mental picture out!

    Liquid lead might be a better alternative then bondo in your situation.






    It's like reverse 31:1 ratio soldering on computers.

    Lead work on anything that didn't have it from the factory doesn't make much sense to me, but I wouldn't worry about working with it. Wear gloves, and don't breath in the fumes. Lead isn't as bad as it is made out to be. Most people who get lead poisoning are stupid kids who eat the colorful potato chips...

    Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see: “We are the proud parents of a child who’s self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn’t need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car.”
