The woman had no brake pads left. Not only that, she didn't have them for a LOOOONG time. It was just metal grinding on metal. The brake rotor was cut horribly. It had about 1/2 to 3/4" deep grooves cut into it. It looked like a slot car race track. I used to have a picture of it, but i can't find it now. I'll keep looking and hopefully i'll find it and put it up here.

omg that sounds like my moms 88 blazer, she wanted me to fix her brakes one weekend so i take off the pass wheel to find he had no pad left, the rotor was trashed completely...guess i know why the truck was pulling so badly lol... ended up replacing the rotors, calipers, pads, brake lines...i felt like hittin her in the head that day dumbass.
