    Suggestion for shoes. Reebok makes a very comfortable leather shoe in black. I have a pair. Sketchers also makes black leather with the safety sole certified for restaurant use. The Sketchers are about $90CDN, the Reebok about $125CDN. Both are under $100 in American money.
    $2,000 for single piston calipers? Who's kidding whom? On my old Volvo 240 I had a shop do both front calipers (4 piston Gerling), both rear calipers (2 piston Gerling), all 4 discs, semiceramic pads all the way around, new parking brake shoes and hardware, and flush the brake lines (17 quarts of brake fluid). Parts, labour, and taxes in the total came to $1,700CDN. Im waiting on shoulder replacement surgery so doing work on a car is impossible for me.

      While I don't like it either, they aren't "trying to be cool". It's a regional thing. It's very common around Pittsburg and KS. Apparently it originates in Scottish English. It does bug me every time I hear someone use it. The other grammatical problem that's common in automotive UA-cam circles is the use of "ran" where one should use "run" (e.g. "The wires were ran" or "it hasn't ran for a year"). In both examples, "run" is the correct word to use, not "ran".
