Dave,
if you aren't all sweaty how will the dirt 'n rust that falls off the car stick to your neck?

Nothing beats a heavily insulated garage. Mine is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Even in the 90° heat it is cool. I do not open any doors or windows. Eventually, I do work up a sweat but it's from the work I'm doing in the garage.

Agree! I don't use aftermarket unless OEM is not available. I am replacing the pads and rotors on the LS 460 before the sensor trip (my daughter has a heavy foot when she's home fr college). The LS has a sensor at each corner and it cost more than the pads.

Last wheel for the brake inspections. I have to take lots of measurements to ensure I do not exceed limits; i.e. the drum can not be larger that 10.006", etc.

Garage is insulated but not cooled. I'm waiting for a cool front to come thru tonight!

The calipers I'm installing are remanufactured StopTech. I've used them before and was quite happy. Plus they are bright red!!! ​​​​​​​

I’ll take the MGBGT.
Those euro 280SL’s are highly regarded by the R107 enthusiasts.

Stopped at a car museum in ME. A few models we've not heard of before. And of course this one.
