    I'm curious if anyone on-list could enlighten me about how to make the 
rear calipers behave and not stick.  I baby my SHO, it stays in the garage 
most of the winter unless the weather is nice and the salt is gone, I don't 
use the e-brake even though all the cables are new.  The rear calipers were 
replaced about two years ago.  (I believe I also have all new lines/hoses). 
How in the world do I end up with a stuck rear caliper??  I took it out 
tonight to make a trip, and the stupid thing ends up heating the rotor to 
the point of glowing.  I played with the cable, and it appears that on the 
trip back that it was still sticking.  I think the designer is probably 
eligable for a Darwin Award... I would hate of what else they may have 
designed.  For that matter, is there a modified or improved version?

Thanks,
