    I called and got an appointment at 430... Ill let everyone know how it goes when I get back.

    I had heard that if you tighten the lug nuts to tight on any car it could warp the rotor causing the light to come on... but I dont know if there is any truth to that...

    Nah - start saving your ching for a brake job. In the mean time check the level of your brake fluid - once breaks get worn down the fluid level goes down.

    Word of advice - don't wait too long. You DON'T want those rotors to get scored (voice of experience ... but not on the VX).

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.
