After one of these days I saw the air vibrate in one of the wheel wells. Heat! Sure enough, the disk was almost too hot to touch.
Perceptible Brownian movement? I'm impressed.

One of my mechanics has a hand-held infra-red thermometer. It'd pretty neat. You could just walk around the car with one and get temps to 1°, compare the disk to the hub, etc.
