I have changed the rear brakes on my Jeep three (3) times. I bought it
with 57 miles on it. I know how they were and still are. Next time I'll
take a picture to prove to you. I am not talking about anybody else's
vehicle, I'm talking about mine. Care to wager?


Because the brakes on *your* Jeep are on backwards proves nothing. Either
you, or the factory installed them backwards.

Yes, I will wager that your brakes are installed incorrectly and we will use
the manufacturers service manual as the final word.
Once you agree to the bet, we can both post our supporting documentation.

The loser sends $500 to JohnH to be donated to the Race for the cure in care
in his daughter's name.



$500 might be a stretch for someone who is complaining about brakes on
an 11 year old vehicle.

I personally don't need a vehicle as a symbol of my manhood.


That's right. I'm keeping my 11 year old mini-van a few more years. I
don't worry as much that my son will ding it as I do with my new Ranger
pickup.


My Jeep is a go anywhere, do anything type of vehicle. I still like
driving it. I've kept in in good shape, runs like a clock, is very low
maintenence. I'll bet I'm a lot better off than a lot of people who
think they need to be seen in an expensive new-every-year car because
of their lack of manhood. Buying new vehicles and/or trading perfectly
good vehicles in are poor economical decisions.



There's that "manhood" statement again. You can justify your vehicle
purchases any way you want but that isn't going to help you when you
lean on that BS. Do you pass judgement on everyone who is driving a
newer car than you, Kevin?

What do you mean by "I'll bet I'm a lot better off"? That sounds like
someone defining their "manhood" in a different way.

As far as economics, there are two factors that you should consider:
(1) Some people can afford new cars more frequently than others. (2)
Others are business owners who can depreciate a vehicle over a short
period of time and buy new card more often.
