Wimmen - ya gotta love 'em

My wife is looking at my car, and she says, "Why are those things red?

"What things?"

She points to the calipers.

"Oh", I reply, "those are the brake calipers.

"But why are they red? They stick out like a sore thumb."

"Because they're meant to stick out like a sore thumb. They're Brembo brakes, and people are proud of them."

"I don't see why", she says with a sneer, "Brakes are brakes."

"Yes, dear, you're right", I reply.

I would analogize them to her shoes or her earrings. Then she might understand.

You should tell her to stop her judging.

I told her she should see the yellow and chartreuse ones on Porsches.

Ask her why some women have red on the SOLES of their high end shoes! At least Brembo highlights a top quality caliper where you can see it!

I came across an alfa romeo quadrifoglio ad on my FB news feed the other day and “built” one. The Brembo brakes are an 8k option on that car...Tell her yours were free

Did your wife just wake up from a 20 year coma?

Nah, she's just not a motorhead.
