The Money Pit Strikes Again

I got the call from the mechanic today, and the news is not good.  Looks like Sarah is going to need a brake job.  The rear calipers are rusted closed and the rotor that has been getting rubbed by the pads will need to be replaced.  And then of course, brake pads, and something about the way the brake system is designed with the brake lines and how they connect to the calipers being all rusted and not knowing if he’ll be able to get it apart without breaking the connection.  I am so glad GM took more control over Saturn in the early naughts, or this car may have actually run pretty good.  Since we are not ready to get rid of it just yet, I suppose we’ll have to put the money into it.  It can’t be driven the way it is, so time to bite the bullet… again.
