My 18 year old daughter came home with a new boy friend last night. And what is he driving? A like new Mercury Monarch! This thing is clean! Almost showroom!
What does a Granada/Monarch mean to folks on this board? Brakes! Good brakes! Good disk brakes! Maybe even good power disk brakes!
So I had a nice long pleasant chat with him. I asked him how his brakes were. He told me they were just redone. New rotors, brake pads, calipers, bearings and yes even new hoses!
So I told my daughter to keep him occupied while I went and took his brakes. He was so well behaved. Nice kid. Very quiet!
Now listen to this! I found out this morning he thought I was going to have him killed for going out with my daughter! He thought I was going to cut his brake lines!
We explained to him that the brakes would fit very nicely on one of our classic Mustangs. He is still not completely sure about me. But that's OK. It will keep him honest.
It is good being a Dad in Chicago!
