    These are the same people who drive with paper-thin, or even fully rusted off, brake rotors. And then they yell at the mechanics for “upselling them” on brake maintenance.

    I firmly believe that brakes should be the absolute last thing to fail on a car. The tires can rupture, the steering shatter, and the car snapped in two, but I must be able to bring the remaining wreckage to a stop.

      Sure, whatever you say guy who definitely isn’t a shady up-selling mechanic

      How can something called a brake, break?

      That obviously just makes it more brake

      Meh, the whole thing needs maintenance.

      Brakes won’t do shit when all the tires are flat and you just lock up the wheels. Or when your tie rod end snaps and the car veers off the freeway faster than anyone can react to press the brakes.

      And this is why I am so grateful for the yearly inspections for cars in my country. You still have idiots driving, but at least their vehicles will be somewhat safe.
