Reminds me of when my breaks started failing on my 1990 Chrysler LeBaron so I got a job at a break repair place long enough to fix them then I quit.

I think "breaks" is appropriate if you own a Chrysler.

My dad has a TC Maserati (Chrysler labaron) and it's "breaks" just recently stopped working for no reason, so very accurate

Lol, ya it was the breaks that I was too broke to afford brakes.

And its pronounced "Brad"

those bits on a car are called "brakes". When a brake breaks, it's a broken brake and needs to be fixed.

Thank you. That's one of my little pet peeves I see online; that and when people are trying to say lose but type loose.

But then all the sudden everything went wrong on accident.

"if it ain't brakes, we don't fix it"

Pads, calibers and new discs. That seemed like a lot of money for 17 year old kid. I worked there for a couple of months. I learned a few things, like working on brakes is not for me.

I hate working on brakes. Even just replacing pads can be a pain in the ass nevermind when you have to do real work to 'em.

I try to do all the basic work/maintenance myself, but fuck brakes.

Sheeeeit I'll do your brakes for you. Brakes is easy and satisfying.
