I will say that i play offensively when driving around dumbarses though. I won't stay behind them and give them space. I'd rather just use the horsepower I have and pass them to continue on my way. This isn't to say I cut people off or anything. If the left lane is open, I'll downshift a gear or 2. launch the car for a split second and be done with the morons behind me.

LOL my wife just gets defensive when I try to talk to her about brakes now. But she just won't fuckin listen - I have tried and now have no more patience. She tore up our old Accord brakes such that I had to replace rotors and pads (~30K miles). Then she tore up the Z brakes such that I had to replace rotors and pads (~20K miles). Then she tore up the Acura brakes such that I would be replacing pads and rotors if it weren't a lease that we are returning next month (~40K miles). Granted all of those rotors could have been turned, but I chose to go the upgrade path on the Accord and Z since they were going to be my new DD.
Thankfully, rotors and pads are an easy job. If she jacks up the brakes on her new Accord, I will just replace them when she can't take it any more. Or maybe I'll just make her continue to drive on them to teach her a lesson. Nah, that wouldn't be very nice to the car
