Rich better be careful. A driver in Finland is fined $60,000 for speeding

http://jalopnik.com/finland-gives-dr...ket-1689390103

At first glance, a car-priced speeding ticket — €54,024, if you're using that kooky moon-man Euro money — seems just absolutely absurd. Especially when you consider his speeding wasn't even all that egregious — 64 in a 50 MPH zone.

I'll be making a trip to Kennedy on TG day to drop the plus one who is traveling to India to see her grandmother. The roads should be mostly clear by then.
JJ back yet? You guys have been on separate vacations since Thanksgiving. I hope she and her family are doing well.

Never paid much attention to brake caliper location on cars. There is likely a science to why they are located where they are:

Low and as centrally located as possible for CG reasons on high Perf cars. Not sure if the vid went into that as I have not watched yet

Hope your snow melts soon. We are nearly snow free, just piles left. But there was never much to begin with.
