    Pads, disks or drums may be worn. Low fluid levels (pretty much all master cylinder issues will result in that as well as others) would result in a really spongey pedal, it will noticeably feel wrong. Pads and disks are easy replacements, drums can be a pita but hey they don't go wrong often. Pads are cheapest to sort, drums most expensive.

    Don't take the car to an OEM garage. Take it to a tyre specialist as they usually do brake work, even better is a brake specialist.
    Any UK guys I recommend ATS, the brake health check as they call it is a free and thorough service (hell they even busted out a micrometer to measure the thickness of my cars brake disk on the main surface and at the edge, I have a lip forming on the edge where the disk is wearing, not a problem yet). I don't know american garage chains. ATS also do free alignment checks and because the guys in my local one are so awesome they swapped a tyre valve assembly for free (another garage wanted £7.50 parts and then labour too).

    He he, yet another thing ATS check for free. Seriously though, my local branch at least really do offer good service.

    If I had some land and I was looking for a farm truck to beat up I'd definitely buy this hunk of junk. v8 4x4. Only a thousand bucks. Just get it running good and you got yerself a road worthy truck. :D

    Well, I was ordering new parts for my precious laptop and I accidentally ordered the same thing twice :/

    Anyway, there's a house down the road with an old Toyota Tacoma that's been sitting in the driveway for years. I remember seeing some people push it up that driveway and I haven't seen it move since. I wonder if they would sell it..

    Personally, I hate the way people go about designing cars today. Just a bunch of derpy, geometric shapes, glued together with paste, with grills. Grills everywhere! Anyways, to put it lightly, I just threw together a concept car design together.

    Update and.... idk. I'll make a blueprint if anyone is interested. But I doubt my modelling skills are cut out for making a model. Btw thanks for all the positive feedback, it really helps.

    I do that constantly, whether I'm bored or not.
    I'm going to be am extremely crazy and unsafe driver, but I'll have the skill to be unsafe safely, so I won't get in any serious accidents or anything like that. I also won't be a dick either. I'll drive fast, but I won't be one of those assholes weaving in and out of traffic.

    You'll pull up to a traffic light next to each other revving your engine's, the light turns green and you both gun it, your friend struggles to get grip and his car swerves and hits your drivers door sending you in to a car parked on the curb. Your car catches on fire and you have 4 broken bones. Your now ex friend's car still runs and he drives away, 5 mins later you receive a text saying: i won :D

    In a few years you'll call me a psychic ;)

    Hell no. We would race, but not on the streets. We have a local drag strip, oh, and Road Atlanta is 7 miles from here.
