Well I can't tell you too much b/c it might void my warranty
But I "think" one of the screws (that held the caliper to the rotor/assembly thing) came off (probably wasn't "tighten" enough) so the caliper kind of came (partially) off and jammed against the rotor which caused my wheel to lock (not turn).
Yeah, I'm having it towed to the El Monte Lexus (is that Longo?). It'll be there first thing in the morning, 7am.
No worries, since my bumper got damaged, I think my insurance is going to pay out so I might be getting a body kit now
Damn...I KNEW I should have gotten a $250 deductible on this car!

Wait so like, the brakes failed on you, but you didn't crash into anything atleast right? I feel so terrible bout that, cause I've done rotors a bunch of times, and never have I had a problem with the brakes
. So you're car is going to be at Longo Lexus tomorrow? Is your car already at Longo Lexus? Can you explain what exactly happened? Your brakes don't work at all anymore? The only thing that I can think of is that maybe the passenger brake line got damaged, but still it seemed like your brakes worked fine when you drove out of Marco's house. Where there any symptoms beforehand? Anyways, I should see your car at work tomorrow, I'll make sure we take good care of it for you. I feel really terrible about what happened Nam
. Maybe I shouldn't become a Toyota/Lexus specialist anymore. I'll just keep my night job as a stripper, it's the only thing I'm good at
