My car is making bone-chilling sounds

Every time I go to use the brake, I feel this terrible grinding sensation underneath the car, and it sounds like I'm dragging a dead body around. I didn't notice it until I was on my way to a friend's house. I figured it might go away, so I continued on. I also noticed a constant dull screech when I opened the window.

I pick him up, and as it turns out he got into a car accident last night because his steering wheel jolted and his brake rotor failed. He then described the same sound and grinding sensation that I was getting.

Sucky thing is, it was our only way into West Chester.

Luckily nothing happened.

But it's getting towed tomorrow. I refused to drive it home from my friend's house.

Oh well.

 

It sounds like your brakes are down to metal. Youll need pads and rotors

 

You're right, and with new tires it would cost $900.

Fuck it, the repairman said he'd buy the car for $500. Would've been more, but the dashboard has been used for frequent graffiti..

Oh well.

1994-2007.

RIP Honda.

 

13 years, its had a good run at least

 

Dude you could fix those brakes for waaaay less than $500

 

you just junked a good car

 

fo sho.....

 

he said he needed tires too though...i bought the cheapest tires (GENIOUS i know....it's going to come back and bite me hard in the ass one day X( and it was $500 just for that-i had to get new brake shoes, i forget how much it was though. might have been another hundred, i really can't remember. mine's a 1997 grand am-so there's always SOMETHING wrong with it

 

yeah this car had been going downhill for years now. there was always something going on with it...

i don't miss it now that i'm up at college.

it'll always be remembered though.
