On the drive back home today from going to see a movie, I saw this awesome BMX freestyle mural. So, I turned back around and shot this cool photo of my car next to it!

There are many cool murals painted on buildings and walls here around Tucson, AZ!

It was raining yesterday, and when I about to reverse I heard a loud thud sound (metal hitting) near right tire. What it could be? It has only 1,300 miles. I heard just once yesterday. I am worried.

It’s probably just your suspension failing, no need to worry

Seriously though... it could be any number of things, how are we supposed to know?

That literally could be anything.

From what I hear that's a normal reversing from @humfrz.

In this case, maybe you can tell us.. was the ground clear of any obstacles? Were you moving forward and suddenly shifted into reverse? Any chance you hit one of a {squirrel, dog, cat, rat, mouse, sea otter, human}? Curb? Parking curb?

If you had the emergency brake ON, after you released it and started moving backwards, the shoe might have been sorta stuck to the drum and made that sound when it released.

That is very true. Check behind (or under) your car to see what jumped out behind your car. I have seen pillars in parking garages, port-a-poties, driveway light posts, shopping carts, several cars and truck (near misses) and several people (near misses) jump out in front of my car while backing up.

I'm wondering if Lewis Hamilton posed for the mural...

You are absolutely right and I believe it was brake pad might have stuck to the drum and I noticed that the rotors also some what rusted.

Uninstalled my CAE ultra shifter and put it for sale in the member classifieds.

Under the right conditions, the rotors will start to rust about 6 seconds after the car is stopped. Not to worry, they will clean off after the brakes are used for a few wheel rotations -

I use to ride BMX freestyle all the time back in the mid-late 80's. I didn't know who he was, he's a new school rider. Found out his name is Kevin Peraza.

He started out BMX racing then got into freestyle/ramp & bowl riding. Became sponsored by Mongoose and competing at the X-Games!

The other day, but whatever:

Rays anodized aluminum fasteners. People did stupid things with the previous nuts and I didn't trust them anymore. Thought about blue, but it didn't match the WRB and I thought it might be nice to have a splash of a different color on the car. v0v
