I knew that'd come up at some point.

white_n_slow, MaxBoost, again, I appreciate your mature, helpful responses. I'll look into getting my pads cleaned and I'll be sure to take your suggestions into consideration when the time comes for upgrades.

18secFerio, there was no need for sarcasm. I asked a polite question and expected polite, mature answers like the ones I received from the aforementioned individuals. I can care less where you live and/or your driving conditions as I was referring to my OWN circumstances. If your mommy and daddy didn't give you enough attention when you were growing up, that's certainly not my fault and, again, I can care less. If you think making snide remarks on an online forum will somehow increase the size of your endowment or garner the very attention that you apparently relish, you've got another thing coming.

Pathetic...
