Did some work on the Maserati, which required using the lift in the garage, so I had to move out some of the F-Bodies...The Camaro hadn't been out in months, so I ended up taking it for a nice long drive, and then using it for my weekend errands.

Had new pads and rotors installed in the Golf.  I had previously used Akenobo Euro Ceramic pads but I never really liked them.  Decent wear and no dust, but the initial bite was really weak and it felt like more pedal travel was needed to get stopped.

I went with Zimmerman rotors and OEM pads, and it's miles better.  I'm happy to deal with the dust for the better brake feel.

I was always impressed with the Zimmerman rotors, used them on my old V70 & on Bella's 3 series.

Yeah, had them on my old red SLK and they were really nice quality Rotors. Used to be preferred by a lot of the German car specialists, might still be.

That's a very nice luxury 350 Z! Styling has held up well on those.

I wanna know if he went to the Popeye's after he filled up, or skipped it because of his heart issue?  ;D
