The first time I ever changed my brake pads was at the Baldiga's house in their driveway. It seems like it was a cold fall afternoon. Chet basically did the job and showed me how while Joe SR came by and commented every once and a while. That was really cool that Chet was able to help me do that - I didn't know that he knew how to do that. I told him I would buy him a 12 pack of beer and I still have not done that. I remember my hands getting pretty cold changing the brakes. I was amazed at how easy and straight-forward it was and it encouraged me to learn how to do more things with my car. I figured that I should be able to do that if I call myself an engineer.
