I need some assistance tomorrow. My car arrives today (Tuesday) along with 5 other cars. I will not be in Las Vegas until about 10:30 AM tomorrow.

When I was driving my car to the transporter I heard a scraping sound coming from my left rear tire. I had just put on new rims but they fit fine. The noise seems to be coming from the parking brake. While driving in a straight line the noise is very soft, however when I turn in any direction the scraping sound becomes more apparent.

Where I have been keeping the car, someone moves it about once a week so they can clean the floors. I did notice that the brake handle seemed to be rather high and not too much tension while pulling it up.

My good friend Jason Heffner who offered to help will not be there until later in the day. He thought that Rich may be there before him and gave me his number. I know Rich is is Scottsdale and I do not know what time he will be there or if he will have any time to help. Rich I will be calling you soon (I just did not want to wake you up too early).

If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Drinks, cover charges, lap dances, etc are on me if anyone can give me a hand.

Thank you in advance.

Chris Moody

I will look at it. I may scratch my head while looking at it.

Beyond that not much I can do without tools.

Chris,

Check your parking brake cable. They tend to run close to the stock wheels, so maybe more so on an aftermarket wheel.

See you in Vegas :thumbsup

You are wise to ponder the help I offered. It was useless but I will take the free drink anyway. Rich, Dennis and Steve will have it fixed before we finish deciding what drink we should order. :cheers
