I called a guy I know at Honda and he says they average about 30-36 thousand miles. He said one model specifally, one with a V6 had issues with poor friction material and would commonly wear out around 10-12 miles.
He informed my that with a VIN # he could check it for a TSB. If you would be willing to offer an apology to Rick, and Pm you’re vin # I’d be happy to check on it for you.
Jesus, I wouldn’t even get home from the dealership at that rate.
If you put Honda brakes on a Boeing 747 or an Airbus A380, I’d expect that kind of mileage. 
All I need is “the lurkers support me in email” and I’ll have Internet Wanker bingo!
Are they still putting that one on the cards? It’s so – twentieth century.
You prolly got air brakes!!
Well I am a dumbass. What do you expect from somebody in the car repair business?
Yeah, in retrospect I’m kinda embarrassed that I originally uncritically accepted part of his accusations regarding mechanic idiocy. Oh well, live and learn I guess. 
Fucking god dammit! I hate it when people screw that up. Hey, at least I was consistent.
Sorry…

There is not a whole lot of difference in intelligence between the white collar world and the blue. The actual difference is this: In the white collar world, when you piss someone off and generally act the douche, they file a complaint or play office politics. In the Blue collar world you get told exactly what a fucktard you are being, and may receive an asskicking depending on the severity of your idiocy.
With or without a treadmill?
Query: is that a threat?
Only an Ivy League-sized moron would say that.
I can’t think of a better example of a pittee coming in and proving the OP’s subject line than this thread. Kudos all around!
Well because you asked…
I did call my buddy and ask. I even forwarded him links to both threads.
He laughed his ass off. His comment about our guest of honor was:
Anyway, let’s just say that our guest of honor is far from having the lowest rear brake mileage that my buddy has seen on an 08 Accord. So from where I sit, he is screwed. Sucks to be him doesn’t it?
Oh, yeah before I forget, thanks for all the love guys, you really made me feel special today.
::: sniff::: I love you man!
You’re not getting my Bud Light. Well, actually, you can have it. But there’s only three of them, and they’ve been sitting in my fridge since I left college. I’d offer you a good beer, but it looks to me like that’s not what you’re going for.
Loyalty to one’s friends is alive and well, even in cyberspace, and that is to be admired, Rick! 
As far as I know, (HA!;)) we have never “spoken” here on SDMB, but I would be very proud to buy you and your friend a beer anytime.
Q
I’m going to jump in with the Rick love. He saved me thousands of dollars (literally thousands - $3,500ish, I think) on the purchase of my car. For no reason other than he’s a helluva swell guy. (This reminds me, you should be having another moose item trickling in soon…)
Bijou Drains, however, is a douche bag. So, here we have an ‘anonymous’ message board where Member X goes out of his way to help his fellow posters, and Member Y goes out of his way to be a syphaletic camel cunt. Bijou Drains please fuck off and pay full price for your break repair.
I’m Rick’s friend! Or, at least, Rick is my friend… Will you buy me a beer, too?
Yo, alice, come here…SLAP!!!
