so how much?
it will not be less than me change it. free

brakepads
not much less but still less, as it was a good price because of the face of our brother Lawrence.

And no offense, I don't trust DIY when it comes to these stuff. Although I have taken an auto course while in High School, I would rather leave it for the professionals and have hobbies like car detailing, golfing etc...

Brakepads I should've guess

yes I was a mad driving 8 years ago, I was going to tai po but not any more had my fun. so now I only drive fast once in a blue moon not always.
got 2 kids, wife and a rabbit to feed. no more silly driving now
I have no kids or rabbits to feed, but still that doesn't give me a reason to speed. I am also concern about the safety of others too as no matter how good your driving may be, there's always idiots or some other people on the roads.

But hope the kids and rabbit will make you think twice about speeding during blue moon, there's other fun things to do beside driving fast or save the money on your mods and go to the track. You can always pay by credit card installment, can you

Mobile one is not the best oil out there, I wouldn't mind shelling out a couple more hundreds to get racing oil.
I know they not the best that why I dont use them.
Im just saying what BMW uses.
My engine oil cost $1500 for 8LT this is why I change it myself so I know I get the $1500 in my car and not some thing elas from the workshops.
Or make shore that you see them pore it into the car then they what swop it.

changing brakepads is like changing a water fillter so easy. You know only take 20 min max for a set.
and as for professionals well if you have leaned it at school they are all the same. same tools same pair of hands.
But for the computer stuff then I will have to take it to a pro, dont have the software.

well at 3am there are almost no cars on the road, apart from street racers you must try 1 day. So the only safety that you will need is you car in good nick and a good night sleep before you go out.
I will never speed in daytime or before 1am cos that is when all the cops are out but after 2 to 3 am most of the cos are gone.
Now I still do night racing at 3am on Friday and Saturday night only on Xbox360 live

Yeah, I don't like to get my hands dirty now. Different age, different things you need to do.
