i HATE it when...

Both my front rotors and brake pads go out, and I have to drive my dad Camry to work. What is the point of waking up looking forward to drive my car to work, when it's the only thrill out of my entire work day schedule!

"i love my evo", you can't love it that much if you let one of the most important things on a car go out. Also, there's nothing wrong with a Camry. It will save you some gas money in which you can put towards your next set of rotors and pads when it goes out again.

Buy quality parts so you dont have to replace them as fast! Look into performance friction

Harsh words. How long will stock rotors last with preventive maintenance?
