A while ago I posted a wet braking problem, minimal at best. I talked to Phil and he said the pads are glazed. To make a short story long I replaced the front pads about 3 months after doing the rears. The minimal braking problem seemed to have vanished, but I was still wary. Today coming home across the causway to Knott's Island at a speed of 60 or so in a driving rain(don't tell the sheriff) a puppy dog ran right out in front of me. Well I am one who will swerve to hit snakes and possums but never a turtle or dog. I locked up them brakes to avoid the puppy and the ole buggy was straight and true. I stopped to see that the dog was OK, as he ran away and turned to look, I could see in his eyes that he was thankful I was driving a Benz.

It could have been a sand burrow truck. Be sure your braking system is completely functional!
