Screeeeeech. Yeaaaaarrrrgg. Eeeeeeekkkk. Heard that sound coming from your tyres before? I did. Turns out it was time to change the brake pads. Sigh. Danny felt we were torturing our car every time we braked. It turned out, we were. Here's the proof.
So, there's a lesson to be learned here. Brake pads wear off and we should tell the mechanic to check it when we send for servicing especially if your car is pretty old.
Sigh. Good thing now is my car is no longer screaming in terror every time we stop at a red light.

The other side of the old brake pad, side two.
Old brake pad. You can see the how bad it is.
This is how it is supposed to look like, side one.
Not like just now, this definitely looks new, side two.
We took a peek at our brake discs as well.. such a difference between the left side, which was okay, and the right side, which is seriously NOT okay.
This is the left side.
This is the right side.
