Check your brakes, people!
From a Mechanic:
"Had a customer come in a while back. Said her brakes were spongy. Here's what I found. Now I asked myself 'DID YOU NOT HEAR A GRINDING NOISE!!!' So we had her come to the back and showed her. The service writer and I said that we've never seen anything like this before. She starts dancing and asking where her prize was. The kicker to the whole thing was the kiddie car seats in the back. This was a super dangerous bit of neglect. People amaze me."
Note how the rust has actually eaten away most of the caliper. The state of the disk (rotor) speaks for itself...
