Too funny! Play nice boys.

If you can dance like this little guy, teenage girls won't care at all if you have screechy brakes!

Seriously though, it just depends on the person. Some people would rather deal with noise, dust, and rotor wear on the street, just so they don't have to spend their Friday night before the track day swapping out pads. I'm one of those people. I used to swap pads constantly, but after 10 years of it...it got old. I don't put many street miles on my track car though, so it's not a big deal. If I had a long commute with it every day, I'd probably still be changing out my pads a lot more frequently. To each his own...just depends on your situation.

You know...there's one positive to having squeaky brakes... its like a squeak-nod for those other track goers out there that recognize immediately why your brakes squeak. It always seems to spark up a conversation when another enthusiast comes up to you and says "track pads eh?" I've met a few people that way.
