If he gets hit by a RD1 Im sure he'll be fine, but the RD1 will be totalled. On the other hand if it were a RD2, we would just have to drive past him really fast, then his skin will melt and he'd blow away.

James Fabin started the ORIGINAL T-H-C and was hired by HMCUSA. He was then forced to divest T-H-C to someone else by HMC. He was our "in" at HMCUSA. He gave us prizes, and also arranged for a tour of the Hyundai Facility in So Cal. The folks that went got photos of the GK before it came out publically. He was really Kewl for awhile.

Then he turned into a real jerk+++++. When we showed up inforce to support Hyundai's rally team, he told us Gen1 and Gen2 owners that "our cars were crap and that we should all sell them and buy GK's". That's a direct quote. He also claimed that he didn't "know" us (rob from HP and me Mainly) or the few other "old skool people from T-H-C. He had outgrown us apparently.

Since then, mainly the group of us that showed up to Support Hyundai, don't like James too much.

Well, isn't he right? I love my car to death, but GK's are better. I disagree in him saying that our cars were "crap".

James Fabin started it all, He's the legend!!
