A few days ago, put my car up on jack stands and spun all of the wheels. From passenger wheel had some rubbing noise, turned out to be the rotor rusting to pieces. So, I replaced the front rotors with aluminum/zinc plated Wagner Thermoquiet rotors. Rear driver brake also had a lot of friction, which turned out to be a seized caliper piston. Greased that.

While I was at it, I finally got around to replacing the cracked fender from my ex's accident several years ago.












Yesterday's (uphill) commute to work: 63.3mpg
Today's (uphill) commute to work: 71.3mpg

P.S. hoping to put my cameras back on tomorrow, they were removed while teaching someone to drive stick.
