So a friend from highschool posted on on Facebook that she needed a good mechanic to replace her brake pads on her 2007 Pathfinder. Well, I am neither a good mechanic nor fan of Nissans. But this girl was always cool in highschool and who doesn't want to do a favor for a girl in her 40s that is still built killer. (5 foot 7 blond that runs marathons) - picture Lita Ford minus the tattoos. So YOU damn right I did those brakes for 20 bucks! And my wife stood watch at the window the entire time.

I almost thought to get a shot of me doing the job and then sneak a quick pan, but my conscience was getting the better of me. I do have to recheck my work possibly Sunday. Like I said, I hate Nissans and caliper bolts tend to loosen themselves after a few heat cycles. Or my weak arm strength just can't get em tight. So perhaps I get a selfie
