    So my front passenger brake seized in the 2002.

          I've never seen a glowing hot rotor before. Ill "cool story bro" myself and be done with it.


          Cool story bro.

                                  Hilarious seeing glowing brake rotors behind a bottlecap. Nevermind Fear. No one else does.

                                  I had a caliper that was sticking/partially seized on my e30 a while ago, when I downshifted to 'engine brake' the rear end on that side locked up. Fun times.

                                      I might be wrong - but apparently it's didn't "seize" - more like dragged?

                                      When I hear "seized" I think of the mile long skid marks on the highway from a big rig that has a wheel locked up!

                                      Impressive glow none-the-less!

                                          Meh, potayto potahto. Both are right, just semantics really. Technically, something is preventing the caliper from free movement, and has therefore seized. Dragging the pads against the rotor.

                                          Either way you look at it. Brake pads do eventually catch fire, and it is quite a spectacle when it happens. :D

                                              I only drove less than a minute once I felt the wobble in the steering wheel. Just long enough to get to a parking lot.

                                              Yeah it didn't fully seize up causing a skid which is good, but there was insane heat. There brakes were smoking/hissing/popping when I got out of the car to see what the wobble was.

                                              Funny thing is a friend of mine saw me pull in and pulled along side me and said "cool man, you painted your calipers!" I said "no- that's the rotors, and they are glowing red hot".

                                              I waited until it cooled down (a few hours) then drove 5 minutes to my mechanic very very slow with no weird noise/vibration/ that I could tell, which is good.

                                                  ^ I'm thinking that's because all the pad material had turned to dust and fallen away. :D
