[size=2]Normally I wouldn’t care, but this is an automotive forum where people talk about brakes all the time. Brake:[/size] –noun 1. a device for slowing or stopping a vehicle or other moving mechanism by the absorption or transfer of the energy of momentum, usually by means of friction. –verb (used without object) 1. to use or run a brake. Break: Verb- 1. to smash, split, or divide into parts violently; reduce to pieces or fragments Noun- 2. an act or instance of breaking; disruption or separation of parts; fracture; rupture: There was a break in the window. That is all. 🙂 ---

I know, I know… lots grammar mistakes on here, I have no problem with that. But this is an AUTOMOTIVE forum, and BRAKES are a MAJOR component of an automobile. Maybe I’m just having a bad day. ---
