Rear brakes stuck
2006 R350... weird nose on the highway, going on for about 2 kms before I could stop, at 60 mph, here is what it looks like.
The disk was super red and I could feel the heat when I approached my hand at over one feet. I pulled and released the parking brake 2-3 times when I stopped in order to reset the system.
According to the internets, steel gets that red at over 750 F.
Runs good now
PS.
I love this car.

After that kind of heat, you will probably need to replace the rotor, calliper, pads, e-brake pads and do a brake fluid flush.
Make sure your wheel bearing is still good too.
