Well, I'm at 185,053 now!!!!!!!!!!

I love running 60+ miles a day, I can rack 'em up fast, you know!!!!

I had the RDX going "tail out" last night with the SH-AWD, and again a little while ago, but a damn tree limb was in the road..... There's always something.....



So, I won't be on here again for a while starting tomorrow, well, Tuesday, that is....


So, I also hit 0-60 in 6.28 seconds!!!!!!!

It was about 70° out, I have about 50lbs. of stuff in the trunk....

Oh, and a passenger... Heck, I'll be running 5.7-5.9 in really cold weather!!! In the upper 70°, I average 7.4....

It it likes the cold!!!!

Well, I'm off to be a "Midnight Mystery"!!!

Hello, I'm desperate!!!


Ok, so tonight, I was driving around on backroads (driven multiple times recently), and I got to the main intersection heading toward town... I suddenly noticed a repetition sound, well, like a sound when the wheel would compete one revolution... I just assumed it was a rock... As I continued on, it started sounding like a duck quacking, oddly enough...

Within several hundred feet, it started scrapping...

I then traced the sound out to the drivers rear wheel...

Ok, so everyone is thinking rear breaks are bad, but I know they're not...

According to CarFax, June 16, 2014, the rear breaks were replaced at the Metairie, La Acura Dealer... The mileage was 166,XXX...

I'm currently at 186,3XX...

I became panicked, so I babied it five miles to the house and hopped in that infamous "Yukon" to save the day, well, night...

It's midnight here in MS, I'm standing in Walmart right now typing this up....

I know this is rather vague, but I'm pressed for time, and this is the best I could do right now... Thanks for any advice or comments!!!

I hope i can can sleep tonight ...

there is nothing that we can do over the internet.
the only thing we can suggest is to take a look at things and see if anything is broken.
if broken, fix it.

Worst case scenario : calipers dragging and you need new caliper

Next is although pads were Replaced it's the brake shoes that need replacing



Or the pads are just worn and need replacing, you'll need to take it apart to inspect.


Or it could be the e brake needs adjusting and is causing the shoes to drag

I'm slowly going to the Honda dealer currently...

It's most noticeable at low speeds... It sounds like a brake pad, but LOUDER, in a way...

Just after posting, I looked at a few wheel bearing sounds in Honda's, and it's somewhat similar...

20 minutes ago, when I started off down the road, it sounded like a scrapeimg, and a clunking noise...

At 40 mph, I'm hearing nothing, hmm... I'm a bit conflicted....

Anyway, I'll be at the Honda dealer in five minutes...

Also, when driving, sometimes I hear a metallic whining sound.... And a slight chirping too....

Last night I felt the heat near caliper and it wasn't any different than the passenger side.... I've been around sticking calipers before, it's not like that....

It was a rock wedged in the dust shield...

Thank you you for the opinions provided, luckily it was nothing...

It it took all of five minutes with the tech, and was at no cost to me...

I did consider it to be something like this, but ruled it out early on...

Thanks and goodbye, for a while...
