Wow.. mind fuck.. Don't dig the music. but that dude was like :fuckyeah:
I couldn't tell if it was photoshopped, slowed down, done on a green screen or what..then I thought Turbo was back from Electric Boogaloo...
But that's pretty bad ass.
Nope.. what happened was when I put the pads on last year I pushed the piston in all the way (this pad was on the piston side btw) when I put the caliper on it popped out and wedged itself in the caliper and never noticed it. Braking was fine. Seemed normal. I've done probably 20+ brake jobs on my w-body cars and never had this issue. I was probably just in a rush and threw it on.
Did I fuck it up? Yep.. probably. do I care? nope. Do I think it's funny the way the pad wore? fuck yeah.
They actually were. They were the rear pads so it didn't get as much use as the front. Wife was complaining of a grinding noise coming from the back. Oops. Luckily I got it before it tore up the caliper. I just slapped new pads on (made sure they didn't fall off) and it's fine.
Might be selling my sons 92 Buick Regal Gran Sport soon. 181k miles. Gray outside (with some rust) and a red leather interior. It would make a good car that someone needs cheap/reliable transportation.
List of new parts:
Rear Struts
Rear calipers/rotors/pads
Front rotors were turned.
Turn signal switch (just replaced today)
Battery
Front o2 sensor
muffler
Starter
Rear quarter panel window
Plugs were done less than a month ago, ran seafoam through the motor
Oil about a month ago
4 new/used tires. I got these from Derek and NTB used for $100. They have decent tread left.
New driver side mirror
Hood release cable
passenger front wheel bearing
The bad
Passenger front door doesn't open from the outside. Fine on the inside. The rod that connects from the door release fell off and I don't have the patience to put it back on. I the spare one in the garage.
Cruise control doesn't work. The hose that controls it is rotted out. Just need a new hose and it'll work fine.
Has a little bit of rust around the gas tank and on the roof
It runs a drives fine. I'm about to pick up a newer Regal for my wife and I'm going to give him her car.
Asking $1200. Parts alone were a little over $600-700 that we've put in the car. KBB has it listed at $1500 for good and $1000 for fair. I think it's somewhere in between those two.
I can take more pictures if anyone is interested.

I picked this up Tuesday when it was released. Finished the game in about 3 or so days. I liked the first one. This one was (I think) cooler. A lot of the weapons and stuff were the same as before.
If anyone has seen the commercials and is clueless.. You're Sergeant Heller and you're wife and daughter were killed by the virus and then Mercer infects you and get to go around and find Mercer. I thought it was good. A decent game to get away from MW3.
edit - The main character.. Heller.. swears a LOT. Mostly funny saying and such like "hell fuckin' yeah" or "I'm going to make you my bitch" .. stuff like that.
Drink a mason jar full and then come back to see how well you can type . I noticed if I think a few glasses of mine and then switch over to beer I tend to get the shits
I thought about this too. I looked at a mid 90's Sunfire last year for my son and it idled rough pretty bad. I did some searching on the webs and found out the head was generally cracked leaking coolant and causing the motor to run rough.
At least the OP posted that it was leaking coolant. Might be a decent 2-300 fix for a good driver.
