Default NEED HELP!!!

ok I was going to change my brake pads on Sunday, but poopie has hit the fan today. The brakes are now grinding the rotor and I dont know if it will be salvagable. So I have called every dealership anywhere near me and none have replacement rotors available. What are my choices? I only have 1 car and am borrowing a friends car and he is taking mine b.c he only drive 10-20 miles a day and I drive around 100. So I dont have a choice but to drive it so it will only get worse. What can I do about this today?

I know i should not post in both forums, but I am in a hurry to leave for work, sorry

If you are going stock, your local auto store can supply them. Call them early, they may have to get them at a central warehouse. (and may not be open on Sunday)

I've always been able to get stock parts the next day...and if you're there early...same day!
