And, yes, I did resize from 2048x1536, so don't complain


11.8" rotor and single :)() piston caliper


Right front tire with outer wear


What causes the brake dust (this pad has less than 3K on it)


Notice the twin exhaust pipes rusting :dunno:


In the last picture, why are the pipes rusty? And, this is where the 328 looses power. You can see that it is 2 pipes from the engine that bottle-neck into a single tube :thumbdwn:

I agree with Ripsnort; the exhaust oxidation is normal. I wouldn't worry about it. After four years and 50K miles, my exhaust looks essentially the same as yours.

Doubt it, but isn't New Orleans near salt water? Bet if you licked the road, you could detect a salty flavor! ;)
Oh, god. The mere thought of licking the streets in New Orleans is enough to put me off my lunch for a week. You'd detect a flavor, all right, but it probably wouldn't be salt.
