    I’m sure the evil intolerant mechanic guy wanted to remove them for some fake, made-up reasons like “you’re gonna die if you ride with these”.

    Everyone should have to pass a basic automotive knowledge course before getting their driver’s license.

    These are the same people who drive with paper-thin, or even fully rusted off, brake rotors. And then they yell at the mechanics for “upselling them” on brake maintenance.

    I firmly believe that brakes should be the absolute last thing to fail on a car. The tires can rupture, the steering shatter, and the car snapped in two, but I must be able to bring the remaining wreckage to a stop.

      How can something called a brake, break?

      That obviously just makes it more brake
