Didn't have exactly what I was looking for in the optima battery size but i wasn't surprised, not all optima sizes are stocked at every store. The lady behind the counter was more than willing to not let me walk away without knowing where I could find the correct battery which was just about 4 miles down the road and that was very appreciated.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
