If losing 3 hours out of a week is way too important to you (maybe skip some posting time on CP), you probably should retire it.
Personally, with the winter season coming up, I'd keep it for the winter at least.
I'm a car guy and I park my nice car for the winter and I'm willing to drive anything with a heater and a set of winter tires during the winter-besides it's hard to keep a car clean in the winter, rock chips, windshield cracks, and bad drivers (and conditions) deter me from wanting to drive a nice car in the winter.

I feared it was going to be a really big expensive job, but for now actually I found that they are rear disc, which is weird... but we're going to replace the pads. My father in law has a garage and tools, which I unfortunately do not have (living in a condo) so it sounds like I may have a solution here.
I didn't want to throw more than $400-500 into it, but it's worth trying out some cheap pads to see if that's the issue. $55, done deal.
