Try fixing that and maybe your brake problems will go away as well. None of us who write in mixed case ever have brake problems. Ok, I'll stop being a smart @$$ Of course brakes wear out, and maybe even warp. Just get new ones, and install them, or have your local mechanic, or perhaps a case of barley pops and some local CEG'ers can hook you up.

Maybe some smart-ass could address the man's question? Function before fashion.

Although I have to admit, he needed a spanking for the caps lock thing. Function before fashion.
