Thanks.
It seems I am having power issues now. I have a confession to make. I didn't do the brakes myself.

I took it to a shop and as soon as I got home (20 mile drive) the car had power issues. It seems to want to shift between 1 and 2 a lot when accelerating from 0. The exhaust "puffs" and "pops", which is not a new problem, but it is much more extreme now. I checked the fluids, thinking the shifting problem might be that they forgot to put the plug in after checking the car over, but the levels are fine. I haven't driven it this weekend, since we drive my wife's car on the weekends. When going slowly and turning (as in parking) the car shutters violently.
