Re: brake pedal height

[Todd Tomason <jayscore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Armand,

Small world.  I grew up in Spencer.  We were just back there visiting for 
Memorial day.  Was that a yellow Eagle?  We stopped and talked to a fellow 
that had a yellow two-door Eagle.  It was a two-door but not a hatch back.  
Never seen one quite like that before.  

If you don't mind my asking where do you live?  I've been in Kansas City the 
last twenty years or so.  It's rare that I run into someone familiar with 
things back home.
