While it was true not long ago that Korean cars were mostly junk, both Hyundai and Kia have invested huge sums of money (taking advantage of a purposefully spiked currency) to build cars that are great performers as well as stellar values.

If you're familiar with Clive Cussler's novels, this seems like the kind of thing that Dirk Pitt would drive around in to feel like a boss. Wouldn't really work for escaping from villains, but it's all about the look, right?

My wife has an '07 that I'd love to strip out and go racing in when its time is through. So nimble!

On this day, a suicide bomber drives a truck filled with 2,000 pounds of explosives into a U.S. Marine Corps barracks at the Beirut International Airport. The explosion killed 220 Marines, 18 sailors and three soldiers. A few minutes after that bomb went off, a second bomber drove into the basement of the nearby…

How do you guys get to do this stuff....

FIERY DEATH at 4:56

DOHC!

Orange Morris Marina at 1:38?

Oh, I agree that the headlights can really be tricky. I got my hands dirtier changing out the headlamp on my wife's Versa than I ever have rotating the tires. However, I have a hard time allowing someone to charge me more money to do something I have the tools and ability to do myself for cheaper. That is satisfaction.
