What Happens when ya brake pads wear out?

Well it depends on the situation you see...

If you drive around at say 10km/h with your foot on the brake then the disks will wear out,

Now, IF, you were on the other hand doing say 100km/h and went to brake and had no brake pads left and crashed then the car would be wrecked, and maybe you too...

Just saying

Ashamed of this but before I knew anything about cars I ran the pads on my little Mazda down to metal and actualy wore grooves into the disks from having metal on metal for a few days. Being poor and dumb I just put new pads on and chewed through the set of pads in about a week as the pads filled in the grooves lol.

It was the prod for me to learn about cars really.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
