I've managed to warp my rotors, bad!

Didn't really notice until I got it back from Mitsu though. When I first drove it back from the dealership after repairs I almost slammed into the @ss of someone. My brakes wouldn't stop the car and yet I had plenty of pedal pressure. All they did was rotate the tires and replace a tranny bearing, I was wondering if they could have screwed something up?

I did beat it going down a mountain road! I didn't think that I would have to skills to warp the rotors. It was only around a 2-3 miles stretch. But at the end I was pumped and it was the hardest I'd driven it. But you would think the next day the rotors would be noticably warped.

Any clues?

cold water and hot rotors will cause your rotors to warp. (think carwash). Mine are just slightly warped and since I drive like an old man (mostly because I am old), this is the only reason I can come up with for my warping.
