Dude, in Pitt Meadows Canada it may as well be a Ferrari!
Scions are so rare up here that people in many areas actually think they are some sort of exotic. I am not joking. They officially started in 2010 but really only broke through in many areas in 2012 or 13 so most of the non car population has no clue what they are all about. If it was badged as Toyota most people would go "meh" but you throw that Scion badge on and you attract a crowd wondering what it is (again not a joke).

I know you know what I meant. Couldn't waste the cut up the girlfriend joke though.

I'm not sure if this would be better or worse than the time my fiance threw up all over the inside AND outside of my FRS...

My girlfriend has a habit of spilling coffee all over my car. Then she stares blankly at me like she doesn't know what to do.

She only tends to throw up in Ubers.

I wouldn't sweat the calipers too much. They are insulated from the worst of the heat by the pads and the bulk of the radiant heat would be blown away while moving. Just check the rubber boots on the slide pins and if they are good the rest is good.

I'll post some pictures when I take them off. I am fairly sure that a reddish color developed on the outside of the drum. It was there after the incident and not before. The friction surface of the drum is actually rough with deposited pad material.

And yeah, you're probably right about the calipers. They so far seem to be fine after some hard braking and inspection. I'm a very worst case scenario thinker haha.

And sorry for being a snot

Welcome to ftroll86. I think you'll find it to be a pretty easy job. Good luck!

Lol, the first time it happened, yes my fault. Next two times, combination of heavy dinner and alcohol made issues on the trip home inevitable. She gets mild motion sickness so I'm usually pretty gentil when she's in the car.

PS, I don't drink so I'm always the one driving...

Edit, I'm now in the doghouse unless I tell you it's entirely my fault and she only throws up when I am driving.
