Oh, and I guess the people that are involved in the manufacturing,
packaging, shipping, and installation of all those ka-zillion asbestos =
parts
are not worth anything as long as you can go an extra 6 months without
having to replace you brake pads? Also, where would the asbestos brake =
dust
go from these ka-zillion (or would that be 2 ka-zillion for front =
disc/rear
drum cars and possibly 4 ka-zillion for 4 wheels disc...?) cars that =
are
already spewing out chemicals? I guess it's no big deal to add a =
little
asbestos to our kids lungs and skin as long as we have easy to service
brakes? Maybe we should bring back lead in all cars? Personally I'm =
all
for improving the new electric or hybrid cars for commuters so we only =
have
maybe =BD ka-zillion cars spewing crap into our environment. And of =
course
the majority of those would be cool fun-to-drive character filled =
classics
like ours!

The environmentalist took the asbestos out of brake linings.
Apparently
there was a health concern. I don't think they went far
enough. If they
are going to screw up great brake linings, they ought just
make cars
illegal. As if changing the material that brakes a zillion
cars is going
to change the effect that the rest of the ka-zillion
automoibiles are
having on the environment. =20
Stepping down...soap box open.......
