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.

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.

They're they're, it'll be all right.

But then all the sudden everything went wrong on accident.

*alright is the wrong word you meant to use there to rile someone up. "all right" is technically correct, and you'll want to avoid that.

  • also, best if you use two different theres. "their they're, it'll be alright" gets you where you want to go much worse.

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

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.

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.
