Light maintenance or the things you find out about your Marauder....
Finally got around to measuring my front rotor thickness after two track sessions.

The minimum is approximately 1.000".
I am running Hawk HPS pads. Love the stopping power, but it begs the question.........

This was the build up after a couple of months and then some very spirited use chasing the steam locomotive:rolleyes:
Did the general walk around and quick detail and noticed my drivers side rear door is getting "sand blasted":mad:. It looks like my drivers door has an alignment problem and therefore the rear door leading edge is getting the full brunt of 20,000 miles of dirt, grime, jetsom and flotsam.

You can see in the picture the clear coat, paint and primer has all been abraded away. Not sure if the dealer will do anything, but it does not hurt to ask. Anyone have any suggestions on touchup paint?
Oh well, the car was not bought to drive, not to be a "garage queen".:burnout:
