      I almost did the same thing myself (Throwing parts at it). My Car started to Overheat and I was thinking it was something with the Expansion Tank cap. Realized that it was indeed the Thermostat (AGAIN). Some shops offer a Free Brake Inspection. You could call around local shops in you area and find if you have one that will and just drop the car off. If something is wrong they will tell you. With Personal Experience with my Daewoo I realized that As long as the car stops you should be fine. I actually thought I had a bad brake caliper after all the shady work the shop did with the brake work. That problem seems to have gone away.

          [quote=”Matthew2014″ post=117079]Awhile ago (May of this year) I got some License Plate Frames for my car. A few weeks ago one broke on me (I accidently broke it) so i went without any frame for the 1st time since i got them for about 2 weeks. I got a new one for replacement and i was just wondering what you all think?

          I will post the pic without the frames followed by the revisions of the frames. The latest revision does not have pics. Also do note that my plates are the old style. The frames look better on the new style plates.

          NOTE: IDC about my plate being seen 1 because when i drive on the street its seen anyways. 2 being that my plates are 1 day from expiring (as of this post) It dont matter anyway. Ill be getting a new and a Specialty plate at that in a week or less. The state of MN allows you a 10 day grace period to make the registration current.

          NO FRAME (after i broke the rear frame):

          Original mounting (back in may):

          Revision 1:

          Revision 2:

          Here is the Plate Frames with my new License Plates. Surprisingly it is much harder to attatch the Frames to the new DLPs. “Flat” License Plates.

          FRONT

          REAR

          As a bonus here is the Impala with the same Frames on it:

          Front (BEFORE FRAME)

          Front (WITH FRAME)

          Rear (BEFORE FRAME)

          Rear (WITH FRAME)

          BONUS PICTURE:

          In the state of Minnesota it is Illegal to have any plate frame that blocks the state name or obstructs the view of the plate. This picture shows that the Frame does not interfere with the Plate Lights.

              I actually have this same experience. My 2001 Daewoo Lanos has ALWAYS had a soft brake pedal from the getgo. My Master Brake Cylinder went out an was replaced. It STILL has a soft brake pedal even with the new cylinder. Like your’s, My pedal is hard as a rock with no power however the SECOND the car is started if i have my foor on the brake it sinks straight to the floor. How is your stopping ability while driving?

              EDIT: Is there such a thing as a “Slave” Brake Cylinder?
