Very cool, thanks for the link. Great article.

would've been nice for the online version to have more content and pictures, but it's still pretty cool to be featured in a major newspaper!

I read the article this morning in the Cars section, and the picture of Greg's setup didn't really do any justice. To the general public, it just looks like a navigation headunit and nothing special.
Although, great job to everyone for becoming Times-worthy!

The article wasn't that bad, but I felt the reporter just took the info from the forums and made up a story to make it more attractive. I also think MP3Car should have been mentioned. Free advertising and increase popularity at the same time

just a plebe's .02

My only regret is that they failed to include my comprehensive deconstruction of Dada and an analysis of the motivations behind its self-proclaimed refusal to accept categorization as an art movement.

Oh, and I there were some pictures too.
