What's wrong with this picture?

Look closely.  Transparent rotors, we think not ;17

There's surprisingly little to say here. "D'oh!" comes to mind, as does "Epic Fail." A picture of a spazzed out cat captioned with, "I can haz brakes?" would also work. As would a photo of Jill Wagner, (http://thebestthings.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/jill-wagner.jpg) (the Mercury vehicle spokes-model better known as "The Mercury Girl"), getting a tetanus shot. Other than that, um, you would think someone would have noticed something before it got this bad, right?

We've heard about wearing 'em down to the rotors, but this is just ridiculous. And for all you heroic defenders of the mighty Panther platform (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Panther_platform) about to come out of the woodwork, we agree – it's probably an aberration. But still... yeesh!
