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 ½ 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.
Stepping down...soap box open.......
