The difference is that the former drives 100 miles each way (all highway) to work and the latter lives and works in San Francisco. Probably commutes on Lombard Street! (For those who have not visited San Francisco or listened to Bill Cosby's sketch on driving there, here's a photo: Lombard Street). Brake pad life will depend on your mix of highway/local driving, your emotional maturity, the topography of your area, and the amount of traffic. There is no such thing as a "normal" brake pad life for a specific car without knowing all those other factors. |
And yet, they couldn't rip that down and put one straight strip of street huh lol
