Lol I did a drilled & slotted rotor and ceramic pad job a few months ago, so I know that's not it. I probably (hopefully) didn't tighten a caliper bolt all the way down.

Hi Dr. Lee.. We are supposed to get some pretty rough weather tonight thru early morning.. A cool front is coming through and we are getting a lot of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.. Its supposed to start raining around 6-7pm this evening.. Just looked at the radar and some storm cells are popping up west and southwest of the metroplex..
'...... And that concludes Dog House Dave's Weather Report

Guys:

The rattling problem has been solved. The rotor was rattling ever so slightly with the wheel on and so was the caliper. I took the tire off and tinkered with the rotor and tightened the bolts down and presto, everything seems to be working great now. This is the quietest my car has been since I bought it! Anyways, I thought I'd let everyone know the this problem that has caused me to go temporarily insane has been fixed. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

WD Season 2 just hit Netflix streaming so that's what I've been watching for the past couple of days. It's a great show.

Oh yea !

I called Yoda yesterday to make the rain go away.....




Now it looks like the rain is gone away...




And Im going cruising tonight !!!




And now i'm like ....





The cold front has made its way through the area, taking with it the clouds and storms. We'll break out the sunshine for the rest of your Sunday. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s. High pressure will keep us dry Monday and Tuesday. A weak cold front will slide through the region Wednesday, giving us a slight chance of showers/storms.

THIS AFTERNOON: Mostly sunny skies, pleasant. Winds: N 10-15. High: 84.

TONIGHT: Clear and cool. Winds: N 5. Low: 56.

Weather is AWESOME right now! Feels great out and no rain in the forecast. I will be there with a new sound AND....... a new stance. Going to put the lowering bolts in today after the Cowboys game.
