I don't tend to drive it like Miss Daisy but as it's not lightweight or has a powerful engine I tend to conserve my momentum
Seems I don't use my brakes too much, so my challenge now is to see if I can eek out their life to 100k  |
Tells me you are not a tailgater. We've all seen them every time we drive...brake lights flashing frequently. They are the ones asking why their pads need replacing at 25,000 miles.
