Ultimate show of faith? You tell me.
Today I entrusted my elder son to replace the front brake pads and rotors on his mother's, my wife's, car.

What say you?

1. Sounds like you've got a pretty strong alibi with that.

5. I'll have you know that.......
..the replacement pads and rotors exceed the OEM standards, IN FACT.......the new parts are considerable upgrades compared to the original equipment.

Thank you very muck. Er...... much.

9. He's very capable.
He's actually changed dozen of sets of pad and rotors. So the trust factor, which was high to begin with, wasn't really an issue.

And the test drive was perfect. The brakes feel better than ever. He made a few $$, and I saved a few $$.

That's how it's done around here. ;)

8. I'd say the ultimate show of faith would be for him to have done yours
since we have no idea of your feelings towards his mother, your wife, or her car :P
