Check your brake fluid level. Either it's low, or one of your two hydraulic brake systems is failing. (There are two for safety/redundancy.)

To me this reads, "bring the car in on Thursday." Signed, I could learn how to fix/check things on my car, but I have no interest, and it would just become another chore.

I hate hold jazz.

Did you know that the word "jazz" was originally a sports term meaning pep or energy? (From the "Things I Learn Watching Jeopardy" file.)

Unless you have some expensive luxury car, the brake light won't come on to tell you if your pads are worn.

I think she's rockin' a Beemer.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Sox!

Tomorrow we're daytripping Shore Leave(a local, fan-run media con). Otherwise, not much.

Yeah, what Trudy said about the Beemer. I had never seen that warning light before, so I looked it up in the owners manual--it's a brake pad light.

Ooh - fancy!

I'm just used to the old days, when a brake light possibly meant something serious....

Yeah, I think that's the part I can't get past.

I like having working brakes.

I remember when one of the lights on my dashboard came on and I called the dealership to make an appointment. The earliest one they could give me was 2 weeks away. I took it and then asked the guy, "But, like, my car isn't going to blow up or anything in the next two weeks, right?" He laughed at me.

On the positive side, my car did not blow up or anything on those two weeks.

VERY good to hear.

I was told that most of the warning lights come on very early so that you have the time to make it in to be serviced. The exceptions to that rule, I think, would be the battery light and the omigodyourcarisoverheatingrightNOW light.
