Damn that just sucks big.

Yet another poignant reminder that seatbelts save lives . Steve Karafa was by FAR one of the most honest and genuine people I had the pleasure of working with in the industry. He will be sorely, sorely missed by many, myself included. I hope John has a speed recovery, and that he and Dario (the founder of Acopa and operator of the actual manufacturing in Mexico) can forge on with the company.
