I left work early today because I had to get up at 2:30AM this morning and go into work to fix an emergency melt down. So on the way back(in the CRX), there were a bit of traffic due to construction. this is a 3 lane freeway and I am in the middle lane. We were going about 15 mph up an overpass. The CRX has a custom exhaust and is VERY VERY deep in tone, very unlike most aftermarket exhaust. So this chevy S10 extreme pick up comes rolling up on my right, his lane is going faster then mine. I noticed first that he had his windowns rolled down and then noticed that he was looking at the car, probably just seeing where all the sound/noise was coming from. So from about the middle of my car, he kept looking till he got up to the front wheel. As his door was to my front wheels, he turned to look at the traffic in front, but IMMEDIATELY turns back sticks his head out and stare at the wheels. I was not sure why at first but realized what he was looking at. This is what he was looking at:

These are Fastbrakes.com's 11" wilwood big brake kit.

The funniest part of the whole this is that with his head out the window, I could read his lips as he said "Holy sh!t!!!" And he's facial expressions was simply priceless. With the way the rims are, while rolling, you see nothing but rotors/brakes... so he got a very clear view of it all.

Since his lane is still moving faster than mine... he kept going, but after going about 100 feet, he sticks his head out the window again and looks at the car. He had this "was that for real" look on his face.
