Hmmm... the front pads and rotors on my '95 were gone at 38k miles. The '01
ate through them before 42k km (26k miles). I don't remember the mileage when
they were replaced on the '98 or Norah's '95, but it was around the same point
timewise as the '01 (two years). I don't think it's our driving style.

That might have something to do with it. I do have a tendency to get lazy
about taking the wheels off and re-torquing them every time it's been in the
shop. If it makes that much of a difference, maybe it's time to start.
