Wow...even though the paint will burn off....still an epic fail on how he did it.

 

I also enjoy how he's got the car jacked up with a jack on an incline..that's SO dangerous he's lucky his jack didn't slip! Also, in high school I knew a guy whose mommy and daddy bought him a Grand Prix...and I stopped by his place one day and he was rubbing some polish on his rims....AND HIS ROTORS! woo!

 

LOL at painted rotors!!!!!

 

i'm pretty sure that dude does not care about his whip anymore

 

Someone on RDT did the same thing, Ultratibby I think.

Retarded.

 

We Todd Did.

 

if you paint them silver or black, they look stock and cover the crappy red/brown rust hue they seem to get over time. if you paint them blue, yellow, red, or anythign else when you OBVIOUSLY don't have baer or brembo or the like, then you're a clown and are headed down the path of ricer upgrades.

now painting the whole darn brake setup? baller status.

 

 

yes the facepalm!! i noticed the jack with wheels and i seriously said, "what an idiot" out loud.

 

My old S-10 Blazer fell off of the wood blocking that I thought was adequate once when I was working on it. The rotor buried into the ground and even the spindle was a bit under the surface. I had been under it and had just gone inside to get a drink when it fell. If it would have fallen a minute earlier I would be dead, I was directly under the rotor at that time.

Please use the following guidelines when lifting a vehicle:
Jack stands, wheel chocks, fairly flat hard ground, in gear (when not required to be out of gear), parking brake on (when not required to be off).

Remember to check how the car is sitting on the jack stands and thoroughly shake the car to ensure it's stable before ever considering getting under it. If possible put a wheel or other solid object under the frame rail or pinch weld as a last resort to keeping you from being crushed.
