Was googling making a cheap target for them for him...we shot at his wooden knife throwing target in the yard and the damned tips were too hard to pry out...

turns out a box with shrink wrapped stuffed into them is perfect.

Stepmom...Dad's 3rd wife...been married for 24 years IIRC.

2nd one was pretty hawt too...funny, she was my Mom/Dad's neighbor in Switzerland when I was born. Bam, get's divorced and recruits her here...she didn't like living in the States though. Sadly, she passed away from brain cancer about 5 years ago (they were divorced like 25 ago though...). She was awesome...had a very rustic (no running water or electric) cabin in the woods built in 1860 or something...way up in Grimentz Switzerland...great view of the valley. I still remember doing the real raclette (melted cheese over potatoes)...here, we use a heated plate to melt a tray of cheese...the real way is to have a wheel of cheese near a fire and you melt and scrape it directly onto the plate.

I've had a good time...used to spend summer's in Switzerland...my rich uncle/aunt used to take us water skiing in Lac Leman (Lake Geneva)...then we'd go across to France at night to eat on the water. Cool sh*t.

She's a special lady...always the type to be the motherly one to all my friends etc. She's let so many of my friends and ex gf's with kids crash at her house while I was growing up. She's got a huge heart.

We must have the same mom. Love my mom, she's great. She'd rather have me crash at home @ 3am even now than drive drunk or stupid shit like that. Heck a few months ago she picked me up and my brother after a wild night instead of having us drive or cab.

Any rust inhibitor spray and cloth should work. Just use brake cleaner afterwards on your discs. Then again, maybe even brake cleaner might work. That rust is probably just a super thin surface coat, so it shouldn't take much to get it off.

In Canada this is the norm. On tire changes for winter season and then for summer, we just spray them with brake cleaner and/or cheap rust remover can spray. It comes back anyway after 6 months.

Are you talking about the disc of the rotor or hub of the rotor. If it's the disc... just do an abbreviated break in process for pads. Should kick most of the rust off.

If you're talking about the hub of the rotor, you can treat it but it might come back, best to sand it down and use a high temp spray to cover it like rustoleom grill spray or a high quality caliper spray. If you just want to treat the rust, best treatment that I know of is eastwood.. but it's best to remove the rotors to do so.

I had rust on the hub on the S2000...I took all the rotors off, wire brushed/sanded and did black caliper spray as Majofo mentioned.

You guys kill me...no, no nudes...that would be weird! That's my sister, not hers. LOL.

Just rust spots...not a full on rust coating.

The "high hat" part of the rotor. Might even be able to power wash it off but the break cleaner sounds like it might work...I plan to paint them with high temp paint, I'll brush it on though so I don't get any inside the caliper.

Clean it up, mask caliper and make a cone around the rotor, paint it with high temp/caliper paint like rockstar and enjoy your life haha
