I need to replace my brake pads and rotors. Unfortunately the Rotors have to be ordered, I need to drive home which is about 90 miles. I was wondering if it would hurt anything else if I drove it home before fixing it.(Like could it mess up the Calipers?)

If your brakes have already worn down to metal to metal then not only could you ruin your calipers but the bigger concern is you can kill someone with a brake failure. You don't drive a car with bad brakes. Period
