Are Raybestos worth a drat anymore? For a 2000 camaro by the way. Already said but look for rotors that have a zinc coating or other plating on them. I'm running Zimmerman plated rotors on my wagon and they still look new after 2 years. They were under $50 each. In April the tire shop thought I just did a brake job, and were surprised when I told them the brakes had 30k miles on them. My Akebono pads are wearing nicely too obviously. The nicest part of the plated rotors is they're clean and dry when you install them, you don't have to wash them down to get sticky rust protection off of them.

43 here and I know Leica is also within a year of me because I notice it every time he mentions it. My 30's were great but as of now each year is better than the last. I just passed 5 years at my 4th job ever (not counting McDonald's in my teens) and will likely get another raise when I have my review tomorrow.

He's just a stupid kid and basically has no financial, emotional, or any other kind of support at all from his parents because they're useless. He doesn't even live with them and is an emancipated minor. He's scared and can't afford a mistake. This reminds me of my niece, only she scored hardcore. She's been driving her mom's (my sister's) old bulletproof Volvo 240 for the last 3 years, but she's off to college and her dad wanted to get her something more reliable. Fat chance, right? He found her a 98 V6 Camry at an estate sale with 24k miles on it. And the owner was super anal, got it dealer serviced whether it needed it or not, even the timing belt was changed at 12 years and 20k miles. The radio knob is missing. That is absolutely the only thing wrong with the car. The engine bay is clean enough to eat out of. Oh, $4,000. Here's hoping similar luck falls on your nephew.
