Just turned 100

100,000 miles that is! What a milestone. Mostly highway miles. Still on OEM clutch. Changed brake pads once. Front and rear driver side bearing changed last year. Change spark plugs 2 months ago. Still running great!!

Seriously, OEM pads were put on my car last year in March and are almost gone right now. Not even 12K miles later

He could drive 500 miles a day, and only 2 of those miles using the brake.

I guess its possible if you never use the brakes . I live in nyc so my pads need to be changed every 10k miles . 20k-30k is about the average for most people .Iv never heard of them lasting more than 60k highway miles though

I changed the pads once at around 60k. Like I said, mostly highway driving. My house and job location is close to the highway, so brake use is minimum. Probably post a picture after getting it wash and wax this weekend. It's an '05 btw.
