Imagine if Hyundai/Kia raided mitsubishi’s/mazda’s hot parts bin for their performance models.

These were fun little cars to both sell and drive during my time at a Hyundai dealer from ‘91 until ‘93. I had one as a demo for about six months with the exotic and rare CD player option.

About 300kg, or one Chris Christie is US units

the last person to get paid like that after getting lucky off ARod was Jeets.

My bet:  a cheap camera, cheap laptop, cheap necklace, and a bag full of $500,000.
