Or any other car with captive rotors

If you have a vehicle with captive rotors, leave your chair immediately, run outside and find a mechanic - have the mechanic convert your braking system to something reasonable - do it now - there is no time to lose, here.

Captive rotor braking systems are dangerous because:

1. When you're changing the rotors you may murder someone
2. If you have the rotors changed somewhere, who ever does it may murder you
3. You're supposed to replace the whole hub assembly instead of just changing rotors which could cause rioting once people find out how much it costs

I'm all afternoon and into late evening out in the cold yesterday thanks to bad engineering.. Honda is pretty damn good at turning tin into something half way drivable that will run forever like some kind of bionic cockaroach.. but on this one they can SUCK IT.
