RE: More on brake dust

Try touching anywhere on the whole front passenger's side corner of a 91
200q after driving it for more than 10 minutes or so. Actually, don't
touch it. It's hotter than h*** and that's just from the turbo and
related hardware over there.

Spoken like someone with a white car.

Feel the hood of a black car some August day in the sun.
My hood metal can reach 200 degrees easily after a couple
of hours outside.
