Short mention in Car and Driver, March 2009

page 87, a story about the 2008 Scion xB wrote:At the Scion brand's launch in 2003, Toyota officials used the term "funky" about 5000 times. Two Jameses - Rick and Brown - may have been credible arbiters of funk. But when you're talking about cars, what the heck does funk mean? A Lotus Elan with an Isuzu engine?

It must be true - Sarah is often heard to mutter things about "that funking car". :wink:

The last issue of Classic Motorsports had an article about updating OLD sports cars with modern alternators and stated that their favorite unit was "the Denso alternators used on Japanese cars fit the bill very well. Our favorites are the ones that came on '90s-era Geos." Magazine (article provided) link here:

Strive for perfection in everything. (given time)
Take the best that exists & make it better. (given inclination)
If it doesn't exist, create it. (God did)
Ignore what I say. (good advice)
