i don't feel it's fair to judge my rotors, cause i drive like a maniac. I'm at 33,000 miles, and on my 3rd set of front pads, first set of new front rotors, about to get my 3rd set of rear pads, and 2nd time of resurfacing

Damn, and i was pissed when the dealer told me i needed new rear pads at like 35K!! I had my front rotors resurfaced at 18K. The dealer did that one under the "good-samaratin" clause of the warranty because i took my car in and bitched that i only had the car like 9 months and the wheel shook like ...well...[insert you own analogy here] when i used the brakes.He tried to blame the warping on my driving and said i probably rode the brakes till they were hot then went through a water puddle.
