2012 Veloster

What kind of #s you looking at for a payment? I'd like the GF to get one in a couple years when there are some on the used market. I think they're great looking cars myself. Super different and original. Sporty looking.

It's like a "next gen" EG hatch IMO.

I saw one on the way to the range today.

It's the car for people in Chris's situation. Wife, one kid but no more, and wants something sporty, but wants an econobox.

The rear-end is ugly as hell, but it's not that bad if you squint as you look at the driver's side from a 3/4 view.

Totally how I feel about the CR-Z.

In for the read. Pretty sure this is my favorite new car (reasonable, that is). I'm hard pressed to like anything but Hyundai is fucking impressive as of late. Excited to see real world gas mileage figures. Only problem I would have, I'd have to get the panoramic sun roof, there's no way around it. And blue. But to each their own.

I'm curious if the Koreans were able to make text to speech work right?

Have you tried the text message transcription yet?

voice texting!?

 

[TurboMirage]

Have not tried it yet.

Autocrossing today, 350 or so miles on it.

 

[TurboMirage]

Last night, with the GLS

AutoX!

The car performed wonderfully at autocross. next time i'll play with tire pressures and really push it with traction off. i was more interested in finding a good line and keeping the car from getting upset than i was making good times. the ABS is not as intrusive as the S but with some harder braking it may show up. turning off traction control gives it a little more oomph as well.

CARTCT AutoX 6/10/12 7 runs | Facebook

 

[reikoshea]

All good runs. Looks like run 4 was a throw away, but all in all

I REALLY wanna go cone chasing again, it's been almost 4 years (I retyped that number 3 times, didnt realize how long it's really been) since I've gone.

 

[TurboMirage]

thanks! run 4 was indeed, the worst.

the potential is there, i just need to get me back in shape again

 

[Briansol]

I haven't gone since... the sti... so 06? Fuck.

 

[awptickes]

I went twice last year. Once on winter tires in May. Lol.

If it wasn't so god damned early in the morning, and on weekends when I had shit planned, it'd be easier to get to the lot.

 

[|Chaz|]

I try to make it to an event at least once or twice every year. It keeps my driving skills up to snuff, plus it is just si fun to beat on your car.

 

[TurboMirage]

you guys are just lazy is all.

 

[awptickes]

Sorry, make that three times last year. Once was while I was still with my Ex. Twice with Amy.

 

[E_SolSi]

you guys are just lazy is all.

i make no argument to this

 

[awptickes]

Truth. I'm lazy and would rather drink on a Friday night and hang out with friends than prep for ax.

 

[TurboMirage]

prep was 5 minutes. unload the foam toolbox in the trunk, take out the floormats, done.

 

[Briansol]

we (me and pickles) own
you rent.

i spend most of the weekends these days doing shit around the house and yard.

 

[TurboMirage]

i have 1 day every other weekend to do the things i need to do. otherwise i'm increasing my bankbook or "parenting"
