Something along these lines...
I have a question that's similar to the one posted here, well two actually, but I think I know what one is...
1) My front driver side tire is squeaking. Almost like the brake pad has worn down, but I've taken my brakes apart several times, and they are almost brand new (Well, they were the last time I checked, for some strange reason, I haven't heard it all winter) I'm thinking it could be caused by the fact that I'm missing one of the studs that hold the tire on (Well, not MISSING, but the last tire shop I brought it to screwed it all up, it's about 1/2" too short and stripped totally) and that I have aluminum wheels... <shrug>
2) When I first start driving somewhere after the car has been sitting awhile, when I go to pull out of my driveway, and usually to the next light or two, it sounds my brakes make a growling noise. Once I've gone about a mile or two, it totally stops until the car totally cools down. And I'm not 100% positive, but I'm about 80% sure it doesn't do it if I warm the engine up before I start driving...
Any ideas/comments/flying objects aimed at my head?
And yes, I DID search, couldn't find anything that matched

What kind of noise is "BBBRRRRRURURRUUUUU!!!!"?? 
Squealing noise is sometimes caused by not installing anti-squeal pads or anti-squeal compound (which is a silicone-like stuff) under the pad when changing them. Or if you don't wait for the compound to dry a bit first it becomes useless too. (Unless you mean it's squealing ALL the time, in which case it's something else.)
Not too sure what would cause grinding noises, but make sure the pads are installed right and seated properly. Maybe they're rubbing the inside (or outside edge) of the rotor?

As for the rears, I'm pretty sure they're stock, or close to it... I haven't changed them since I got the car, and I'm waiting for this fall to end and spring to begin before I tear them apart.
The squeaking in front started after I had new tires installed, which is when the stud broke.
And I noticed yesterday that my mothers' truck does the same thing with that grinding sound, I'm thinking it prolly only does it because it's cold...
I'm pretty sure it started when it was cold, I don't remember hearing it before this, uhh, fall started
I was thinking about it last night as I was laying in bed wondering just how I was going to change my heater core without having to pay out hundreds and hundreds of dollars
