I just ordered a set of the R1 Concepts Cross-Drilled & Slotted brake rotors, and (taking a slight detour on the way to Moab next month) will have the brakes done at St. Charles Automotive. While there, my VX will also get the 120k service, timing belt & water pump replaced, and maybe a few more things that have been on the to-do list for a while.

Saving money has never been easy, but if it keeps my VehiCROSS running strong for another decade or more... I'll be a happy camper!

Of course, one of my co-workers asked why I'd spend all that money before rolling off a cliff. FACT... I didn't roll my VX off a cliff last time I was in Moab. I slid it off, and it was only halfway.
