Why does my car feel like it's dragging?
Any gear it feels that I have to push hard to run hard. I'm beginning to have seconds thoughts about her. Although separation is not quite in the picture yet and i'd hate to go through that process. 
That's all.
That's all.

check the brakes
i just went through mine, rear brakes were stuck to the rotor because the boots were torn and the pins were dry....look also at your parking brake to make sure its lubed in the back so it snaps back when you take the brake off instead of holding the pad to the rotor also.

Parking brake.
That's the problem with my car. Temporary fix: disconnect parking brake. All four of my calipers are rusted to hell but they still work.
Think it's worth it to attempt to clean them up? I got a dremel tool and a air grinder I could use. I don't think the stock rear calipers are really worth the $$ to go get them sandblasted or beadblasted though.
Opinions?
