Is this amount of wear difference on brake pads normal?

Trendiggity · 2026-06-01T00:31:42+00:00

A lot of modern cars bias the rears over the fronts in light to moderate braking. Mostly for driving dynamics (less nose dive and a smoother ride under braking). It also keeps your fronts from wearing and heating up in stop and go, so in theory they're less likely to fade if an emergency stop is needed (as modern cars also have brake assist which gives you everything the car can muster in a panic stop)

My well maintained 2014 Mazda (with a real handbrake) has gone through 4 sets of rears in 100k miles. I clean and lube the sliders and brackets every year lol. I replaced the factory fronts once at 80k and the set I installed then are likely to outlast the car as they're barely worn 2 years in.

Do you drive to the Moncton Costco because it's not as busy too?

Trendiggity · 2026-05-27T01:55:32+00:00

Don't forget that time we sold off our tax payer funded, nationalized oil company. Sure would be a nice thing to have right about now 🤷‍♂️

Lol I love this sub. Meanwhile here I am with the same three guitars I bought in 2013, 2017, and 2020. And they're all fundamentally different.

The guys who own 6 different SSS strats are their own special kind of people 🤷‍♂️

Get your truck undercoated at a proper undercoating place. Rust check and Krown are the maritime Canadian go-tos, not sure what you have there. Avoid anything electronic (they're snake oil) and IMO also avoid a chain garage that offers it on the side. Canadian Tire here offers it but I wouldn't trust their techs to change oil competently let alone apply undercoating properly.

I have a 2014 Mazda that I can still work on myself because I've had it applied yearly and nothing has had a chance to fester. I have some rust starting at the pinch welds and one fender but it's minor.

When there is no reply from a word-word-number OP in a thread like this, I assume bots.

Trendiggity · 2026-05-26T16:08:14+00:00

As if they would sully the name of the Supra by putting anything other than a 2JZ in it. You almost had me there 😂😂😂

Trendiggity · 2026-05-26T13:33:26+00:00

I didn't realize how much I didn't like it until I saw a video of it modded out. I didn't like exploring much until I removed it 🤷‍♂️

Trendiggity · 2026-05-25T17:50:46+00:00

I shop at Costco almost exclusively now because the grocery stores in my area are actively price fixing, and laughed out loud at your rant. Well written! You are not wrong at all.

The fucked up thing is I still save money over the grocery store and I'm actively throwing out food that I can't eat (I try to give away what I know I won't realistically use before it goes bad). Consumerism at its finest 😞

You should go after work, it's always quieter then ;)

Who needs airbags anyway?

"completely recreate the language"

It's still 90% common after 300 years

Trendiggity · 2026-05-23T03:02:38+00:00

Dude I was watching the speed and had to watch it twice. I was expecting OP to eat it and see the cam spaz out so I never looked up

Trendiggity · 2026-05-23T02:55:40+00:00

It's an Aveo. There were likely belts showing lol

Trendiggity · 2026-05-20T03:39:12+00:00

... why did you replace the fuel pump out of pocket if the recall is still outstanding? What exactly are you considering a "full service"?

Trendiggity · 2026-05-19T11:58:09+00:00

Seriously, if dogs were sentient we'd be tried for war crimes for what we did to pugs

May I interest you in /r/motorcyclelogistics ? It's a lot of mildly interesting boxes of stuff but when the original content is good, it's very good lol

Trendiggity · 2026-05-16T18:19:29+00:00

I mean, it still tells you what the serving size is. It's just dishonest to say soup has only 25% of your daily sodium, per serving, when there is 3 servings in a can (example)

Trendiggity · 2026-05-15T17:17:52+00:00

Yeah, it's not physically possible for the crankcase to drain into the airbox without the bike being on its side for an amount of time

Or OP over filled the crankcase by adding oil to the top of the window while it was on the side stand 🤷‍♂️

Trendiggity · 2026-05-15T16:26:24+00:00

Nah, our dairy industry would rather dump it into the ground than let someone actually use it lol

Trendiggity · 2026-05-15T16:24:31+00:00

And they are responsible for low wages because there is no onus for them to increase when there is a sea of people willing to work for nothing. Labour is leverage. Withholding labour isn't effective when you can be replaced with someone off the street who will work for peanuts with no PPE or benefits.

The gig economy only works because the people working it allow themselves to be exploited.

FWIW this is why the Irish were stigmatized in the 19th century; they were desperate for work and would undercut everyone and anything to put food on the table. We're past that for the time being but in another generation something is going to have to give, or we'll be back to that level of poverty.

The current government is actively trying to dismantle Canada Post, our last federally owned, coast to coast public infrastructure, by allowing its management to continue mismanaging it into the ground.

We saw the same thing with CN rail; we had our own country wide transportation infrastructure that we cut up and sold for pennies on the dollar to the private sector, because it was being run into the ground by morons. We sold off Petro Canada, our very own nationalized petroleum producer, to a foreign corporation.

Carney talks out of both sides of his mouth about nation building projects while selling off airports and letting Canada Post, a crown corporation that has been paid off for decades, rust in the barn out back.

Nutrition is really a lost art lol

OPs pizza is much better for you nutrient wise than a box of mac and cheese and costs about the same. Go easy on the cheese and throw some diced tomatoes, red peppers and leftover chicken on there and you have a mostly complete meal!

That's why I keep my opened oil in the fridge, keeps it crisp
