Brake time for 90Q20V

[Peter Sperry]

The bomb "tests" good, meaning I get 35+ pumps before the pedal goes dead.
The pads are stock, and there's enough pad left to get me through another
month.  "Extremely serious" simply means that it takes considerably more
pedal pressure to initiate a stop than compared to my wife's '01 VW.
