   Me? Desperate? You must be joking? FWIW, Putin is a *liar*.

   I gave you the one I value most, my direct experience.

   I backed up my claim with reference to what I saw and did whilst working   
   at my trade. My direct experience. Yes, I worked in the industry and   
   have *hands on* experience with warped rotors. I have seen them, I have   
   measured them, I have, where possible, even cleaned them up to   
   serviceable condition. Your *experience* with brakes is limited to hobby   
   repairs at home.

   Um, no you're not. You ignore facts that disagree with yours.

   Then you do not understand what goes on in braking systems in the real   
   world. The rotors I have seen and measured did not warp because I gave   
   them a *dark look*.

   A saw with my own eyes and measured with my own hands numerous warped   
   rotors.

   Um, not always. I have seen plenty of rotors that were warped with no   
   signs of cracking. I have also seen the converse, cracked rotors with no   
   signs of warpage. It's a *different effect*.
