Ok, maybe thats the case, but you have an explanation other than abuse of some kind why a rear brakes would be heat damaged at 3,000 miles when people that have tracked regularly have stated that the car is heavily front biased on brakes.
Seems pretty unlikely that something would cause that type of failure other than abuse or something weird like driving with the handbrake half pulled.
That or the guy at the tire shop doesn't know what the heck he's talking about.
