Not at all. I merely said that, for a guy called the "incredible"
swearing man, your insults are rather lackluster. You'll have to
excuse me if I expected too much.

This word, "prolific", I do not think it means what you think it
means.

That's marginally better, I suppose. Get some rest, there's always
tomorrow.

Indeed I am in NE Ohio. I called them already, and here is the price
breakdown:

Front Pads (Mintex Red Box): $81
Rear Pads: $36.50
Labor: $85
Total: $202.50

Rotors were $289.95 for the front axle + labor.

They had the best price I found. I checked Autobahn and Fred Baker
too. I'm not even going call those crooks at Cascade.

I think I'm going to buy Mintex pads from TireRack and install them
myself. Audiworld had a couple good procedures, and it doesn't loook
to be every difficult (famous last words).
