Yesterday I posted about a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! my car was making after having new tires and an alignment done over the weekend. I got home last night, took the left front wheel off and found this lodged between the rotor and the dust shield.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Miraculously, it doesn’t appear to have damaged the rotor at all. If it had, I would go back to the shop and ask them to replace the rotor, but since it didn’t I’m just going to let it be.

Given how heavy it is and how it’s apparently softer than the rotor, my guess is that it’s a piece of old wheel weight that got knocked loose during the tire change.
