Top Ten Female Inventions
Consumers of salads, they take up half of the planet's oxygen and can drive the strongest of men to their knees. Who are these enigmatic creatures? They are the females of the human race. Other than modeling, this list entails how they've made our automotive lives that much better.

10. Circular Saw, invented by Tabitha Babbit (1812)
Thanks to girls. . .we don't have to karate-chop chrome-moly tubing for our roll cages.

Depheartment of Korekshung
In our Top Ten Turbo section, unless you thought "Marine" was a unit of pounds, you might've noticed we mistakenly shifted the column headings (pounds, in, mm, lbs/min) one over to the left. Also, the appropriate Garrett URL is www.turbobygarrett.com. We blame all of this on Carter leaving for vacation to Hawaii. We've pricked him in the arm (severely) with a sharpened pineapple as punishment.

Street Smart
Established in 1987 in the Saitama Prefecture of Japan, Carbonetic's JDM counterpart, Across, dominates the patented carbon-on-carbon composite method on the entire planet Earth. Yummy carbony-filled goodness like clutches and LSDs are just some of the applications that Carbonetic manufactures in the US market as of last year. Check out their website. You're bound to come ahem, across, some carbon-colored cool.www.carbonetic.net

Classic Super Street
Besides LJ Garcia's blue EG Civic on the cover, we first went nation wide ten years ago, delivering a coast to coast, event-filled issue. September '97 also covered details of the first Super Street Tour to NOPI, a continued tradition, along with the use of our very outdated logo we still use today.
