  1. Re:They're all scams anyway. on Ask Slashdot: Best Protection Plan For Your Phone? · · Score: 1

    I just saw a sign today, $99 for front brakes up the street (install pads and turn the rotors). I can't imagine it jumping up that much for rear brakes, unless we're talking about replacing calipers, changing brake fluid, or replacing lines, I just can't see it costing that much. I may be in the wrong business.

    A $600 brake job? Is it really that much? I have the tools, time, and knowledge to do this small job, so I've always done it myself. I'm not sure what it would normally cost, but even working all 4 wheels with replacement rotors comes in at under $200 when I do it. I want to be your brake guy.

    You know, a machine that mimics the motions of an earthworm probably would make a very effective bait. In fact there are several artificial worms out there that try to do exactly that by using the hydrodynamic forces created when reeling in the line. Someone should get on this right away!
