Chomping at the bit, I am.

Replaced the pads this weekend. Sanded the rust off the rotors (looked worse than they were because the car was parked outside & not driven from about Dec - March.)

And -- drumroll -- got the paperwork this AM. It's legal!

Hurry up and wait! Now it gets stuffed back in the garage for 3 weeks while I'm away. :P
