F55/F56 How long will brakes last?
#29
When I got my R56 at 36K miles, I never had to change them in 4 years and 13K in miles. My R53 needed new pads at 55K miles. I hope that I can get a few years out of my F56 before I need them. The good thing is if you don't let them go too far and warp the disks, you can just do pads and sensors, expensive yes but you will be in good shape.

Driving in to Yellowstone thru Teton a 'Kalofonian' had to have the space in front of us. On coming traffic dictated I opt for the bar ditch. We must have passed them at a turn out in the Teton area because he pulled the same stunt shortly before we got to the Yellowstone gate. There were two lanes at the gate and I took the right one and eventually got thru ahead of him. Karma. But I doubt he got the point.

I always try to leave space between me and the car in front, if not for brake wear, then just because I don't want to end up in his backseat if he slams on his brakes. The problem is, in the DC Metro Area, anything over two feet between cars is considered open space for someone to force their way in.
Mythbusters needs to do another traffic special and it should be made mandatory viewing for all drivers in the United States.

I would LOVE to see the law enforcement officers place an emphasis on this issue. Apparently they don't care about enforcing speed limits, window tint laws, lighting regulations/standards, or any one of dozens of other laws put in place for public safety.
