Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

If i remember right, the problem was the wheel studs were stressed, the car didnt have hubcentric rings. All that plus hard driving = FAIL.

After grinding to halt on the rotors themselves warpage is the least of his worries. I just thought it was funny that he set the brake.......it's not like the thing is going to roll away.
