Brake's
Ok this is just a post to give some of you a nice little laugh. Ok so Yesterday afternoon I ran by a shop to have some brake pads put on my truck and get them to look at a slight wobble really quick. (thats why i posted about tie rods yesterday) Last night at about 1am I was hitting the highway coming back home. Truck made a really loud bang and I went shooting off the road trying to stop.. Come to find out the shop employee did not bolt my brake calibur back on (the bottom bolt was missing). Cost of his actions... The calibur acctually hit the rim so hard when it come completely loose that it put a hole in the rim causing the tire to naturally go flat as a pancake in a few seconds with me driving around 75mph. I got out.. and though it was just going to be a flat.. so i proceeded to jack it up and get my spare out. Got the tire off and I noticed the calibur was just hanging there and the top bolt itself was barely hanging on. So that shop is now responsible for a new Rim, Tire, Probally a Calibur and possibly and bracket. Oh and to top it all off (this is the funny part because I posted something on someones thread about not buying a dodge).. I have to drive my parents Dodge for a few days until the shop opens up Monday so i can call them about this. LOVELY weekend LOL.
