    You asked that question at a possible meet up?! Some of us love meet ups, so we can avoid dealerships and shops.

    I just need to know what I need to pack as I’m out of the house by 7 am Saturday ;).

    Need to make sure I’m down there in enough time to pregame and get ready(y).

    I'm just not sure if this is something I should take to the shop and let the professional work on it, or diy. I remember changing brake pads on my first car, Honda Civic :D, and I didn't do a good job and almost caused more of a problem. (n)

    This is why I ask.

    Do the easy diy stuff at a meet up, anything else left and you don't feel like tackling, bring it to a shop.

    You get to learn a lot and get made fun of at the same time

    Simple.

    Is changing brake pads and adjusting emergency brake easy?

    You're going to be in the company of some really smart guys, anything that takes a professional an hour will take you guys double the time because you'll be drinking a beer while you're wrenching. Be prepared to get your hands dirty and save some serious dough by not going to a dealer/shop.

    Let’s us know when and we’ll make sure you won’t bring the beer and have to consume it all yourself(y).

    I met @Pedal Logic for breakfast a couple of weeks back and he said he would look at his calendar for availability :).

    He’s a nice midpoint for most that traverse to the meet ups ;).

    I’ll text him see what he thinks and keep everybody posted (y).

    Hi Everyone,

    Does Saturday, August 25th work for a meet up for most people? On this end, that's the only open date for August.
