Kinda off topic. In your last pic, there are black marks around the outer rim of your brake rotor? Any idea what they are from? Is it a different type of rotor?

The parking brake didn't release all the way one time because it froze. I didn't notice it until about 1/4 mile down the road when it started to expand from heat. There is a TSR on that and I haven't been able to get it back to the dealer since then. It will have to wait until I get the car back from the shop and I will see what the dealer can do. They treat me with kid gloves since I have bought about 7 vehicles from them in the past 7 years.

I have the same thing from my Ford dealer, 13 vehicles in 20 years from the same place. I show up and everybody is Johnny on the spot and ready to take care of anything. Nice feeling but they are making a killing off of me too soooooo...
