I am limited in several ways because I still have a 40k mile powertrain warranty on my accord, after that I might change.

Things I do, I drive 28-30 in a 35 depending on the "current" of the traffic in front of me, I react to things farther than 1/4 mile in my driving future, and I know the sequences of the lights.

My big problem is I live in Boise, and the temps are extremely diverse. 95-100 in the summer and sub 15s in the winter. Does anyone with them live in an area that gets a 90 degree swing in temp throughout the year?
I recently returned from a 1,349-mile test run in the T-100.I drove the whole distance with full MOON-style covers at sustained speeds up to 80-mph and descended mountain grades from 8,650-feet elevation.Since then,I've done over 200-miles of urban commuting,all witout a wimper from the rotors,pads ,drums,or shoes.Short of high-speed panic stops,your brakes shouldn't be an issue.The MOONs stay.
