Grumble. Took the car in for service today, and had to have the front brake pads replaced. Also, one of the calipers was sticking. They cleaned it out and lubricated a pin that wasn't lubricated right, and the mechanic says it should be OK. I'm going to watch it like a hawk between now and the next scheduled service, though, looking for any sign of trouble with it. If I see any hint of trouble, it'll go back for warranty replacement.

And I also need to get 2 new tires on in the next week or three. The rears are almost down to the wear bars (the fronts are much newer), I had the dealer not rotate the tires this time to keep the best ones on the front until I've enough free cash to get the new pair. Eventually I want to replace the wheels completely with 16" alloys (stock are 15") and tires to match.
