the "replace brake pad" message just came on in my clk. How much longer can i drive?

i drive 20 miles each way to work and home... is it ok if i change it on the weekends and drive it thursday and friday? (including today thats going to be 100 miles total)... is it safe? or do i need to go into the shop now?

Shop around. Prices can be different by triple fold for the same parts.
I bought Akebono pads on Amazon. For OEM -AutohousAZ is good place. Some internet dealers like MB of Anaheim have good prices as well.
Typical dealers and indy abuse is forcing the customer to replace the rotors as well.
During pad replacement -rotors take just seconds to replace, while labor and parts markup makes pretty nice kudos for the shop.
