You may want to put part one up for the ones not up to speed.

Part 1 was a legitimate article about the dangers of turning your rotors, this is funny in itself and needs no background story.

So you don't want to share good info? You should be a lawer.

This a must see for people with disc brakes. Having 4 wheel drum I'm beyond all this.

Can you put the links up on here? I can't see then because I'm not a registered user on VM.

I turned the front rotors on the Cobra and they're slotted. I have no issues with them and they still stop great.

I learned back in high school auto shop class to always use the fine cut last and to put a swirl finish on the rotor. Even when I worked at Econolube back in high school the brake guys did this. I guess that's why I've never had an issue when I have my rotors turned. It's just like putting the final hone in a cylinder to help the rings set.

Yep, that is true.
