Cool!

But my '94 F150 w/109,000m is still proudly wearing the factory pads!

Yeah I'm easy on 'em. But they have had to deal with some very heavy loads too.

P.S. Hey Metro, didja see this?

the HSD Prius rotors are extremely prone to rusting up and apparently a number of people have had to have otherwise perfectly good rotors replaced because of rust, but I also have a solution for that: on my Classic, but also on every other car I've owned, I've purchased a can of cold-galvanizing spray (basically 95+% zinc powder with an epoxy binder) and wire-brushed the brake components and then sprayed them with a liberal coating of the cold galvanize..
