Interesting analysis on Tesla stock, for those who think the current share price is indicative of everything :

Has been my experience that the inner pads always wear faster than the outers. I no longer trust looking at the outer pads alone (of course- you can't see the inners with the wheel on).

Ive been visiting Canadian Tire a lot lately. But with good reason. Its been a place to see hot cars in the parking lot. Ferrari 812 Superfast I asked permission to photograph his car. A young guy. In his 40s. WHAT A SOUND THIS THING MAKES!!! Ferrari V12s are AWESOME!!!

GM announced today that April 2022 will be the last month of Chevrolet Equinox production at CAMI Assembly plant. Production at other plants will be increased to cover Chevrolet Equinox production as BrightDrop equipment will be installed over a 4 month period allowing for large scale production to begin of the BrightDrop EV600 van beginning in November 2022.

I could eat a Big Mac AND a Quarter Pounder w/cheese in my car while driving without making a mess. Done that hundreds of times. But somehow, one measly Grand Big Mac and the lettuce and sauce is flying everywhere. On my seat. On my pants. The steering wheel. Oh boy was there sauce on the steering wheel!!! (Its a good thing I was driving my wife's car. Shhhhhh....dont anybody tell her. She'll throw a conniption my way)

... and almost every car at a loss.

The chirpers on the left front wheel started going off, but looking through the wheel spokes the pad looked fine... so I wasn't sure what was going on. I pulled the wheel and it turns out the inside pad is almost gone while the outside pad looks nearly new. That means the caliper sliders were probably stuck I think. Ordered a new set of AC Delco Gold Ceramic pads and two new AC Delco Gold rotors. They'll come on Thursday and I'll install them Sunday after I get back from DC (in the Chrysler). Gotta remember to get caliber slider lube too. This is all prep for driving the Avalanche to Miami later in July.

Well, I was going to eat…..
