Subject:      Hot brakes!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

Was for billing through Malibu hills in my 1982 weary - had a sense they
brakes were to bring very grabby..,
Then. Had to push them hard to stop st the bottom of the hill stop sign
(route 1)
My front brakes were smoking slightly, smelled like overheated truck
brakes.
Never experienced this before in a passenger vehicle. We did go down s long
and seriously steep hill... but smoking?

Are my rotors gonna be warped?
