Took the Barth to my mechanic for Spring tuneup. It took him all of 15 seconds to not that my front left rotor was nearly cracked through and I had a bad master cylinder. Fortunately Spartan had the parts; for about $1500 because you replace them in pairs. More fun,

Good morning, Richard;

Yes, it does happen. New Year's Day, the right front disc brake rotor on the 2002 Subaru Outback just split in two; inside and outside. I did not know that could happen.

Sometimes owning mechanical (and some electrical or electronic) devices can present to you a real surprise.

Even with the motor home, I have found it beneficial to put on the coveralls and slide underneath with some wrenches in hand just look around at things. There were some surprises the first time I did this when I found some nuts and bolts that were several threads loose. Thinking back that I had driven that motor home over 500 miles to get it home on 2013 October 18 made me think that I must have had a guardian angel riding along with me.

Enjoy;
