Hi Ed - well sure its possible - - but I too would hav eexpected your
brakes to be a *little* worn by now heheh. However in retrospect - with
the drive up to Toronto the other week, I don't seem to recall you
mashing down on the brakes or stopping very hard/fast. You may punch
the gas and drive fast - but for some reason you seemed to stop without
heavy break stomping. That might be why your brakes are still good?
Check the thickness of the rotors and the pads for the heck of it -
check it with the specs.
