Message	Funny that about 8 years ago, while in college, I told the Prof that we should use ceramics for exhaust linings and brakes if "they" (ceramics) are so good. He said it'd never happen - bite your tongue :) More to come from ceramics too - turbos are next, mark my word (not just the bearings, but the turbo itself instead of unGodly heavy cast iron).
