Not exactly Grand Prix related, but I thought you guys might get a kick out of this picture. This girl I know has a '99 Lumina ltz. One day she says the car isn't stopping. I check the brakes and there's virtually no pressure in them. It had brake fluid and I checked the pads. Well, I think I found the problem. The picture below are the rear rotors, driver side on the left and passenger on the right.

The brake had been pushed so far out that the fluid was leaking out from behind it. As for the brake pads, the metal plate that the pad is attached to was half worn down.
In the middle of fixing this, she tells me the oil hasn't been changed in about a year or so. I don't even wanna know what else she's done to the car. (or hasn't done for that matter)
