asked by on June 02, 2017

Can I drive my 2010 Infiniti Ex35 long distance after I was told that I need brake pads and rotors. I have to take a trip ASAP and I CAN'T afford to get the brake work done right now and I can't afford to rent a car at this time. So can I drive my car long distance since most of the trip I will be on the Interstate and I won't have to use my brakes often.

My car has 98707 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
