Man, I am so f***ing pissed.

Swapped out my street pads for the race pads yesterday and suddenly the car is pulling to the right and wanting to lock up the right front wheel under hard braking.

Bleeding the brakes helped a little, but not enough to make me want to go on track. Ryan thought it felt like the alignment was out. Went to get it aligned and they won't do it because apparently my left rear wheel bearing is bad. That wheel bearing lasted only 26k miles. I think my 18" wheels are the culprit for that.

So, my options are: 1) drive with an unstable car under hard braking and risk sheering off a wheel if the bearing gives out....no. 2) spend an additional amount to rent a car...I've already spent enough...no. 3) Be a passenger all day.

I've already spent hundreds in maintenance, have a hotel reserved, $175 to go on track. Thank God U-Haul decided not to charge me for cancelling last second. NOTHING went right for me today. Not a happy boy at all.
