The proportions of this car suggest it’s much larger than the Cee’d. More in line with an Optima/Sonata... STINGER sized vehicle.

Can you install Kodi on this like you can a Fire Stick?

From Kia’s site:

Maybe because we’ve seen about 247 different iterations, we just can’t believe it might be real this time.... also, LED’s are still kind of a weird light for us humans.

By crushing their ankle and holding them to the ground, it makes sure the person doesn’t go flying over the car or into the windshield, protecting the driver.

I’ve never heard of a shift nerd, but I have a friend that is a suspension nerd. Doesn’t matter what it’s on. He just loves spring rates, geometries, and preloads. Talking about them, taking them apart, building his own... Anything. Luckily for all of us, he’s an engineer. Luckily for me he’s a Miata/Exocet owner.

I thought this was going to be a review of the car and it took me about a minute and a half to realize it was a music video.

Yeah man, the 90's fashion is on trend now. Chokers are back in style... CHOKERS!!!

The city I grew up in, Simi Valley, built a cheap-o version of these outdoorsy malls. The problem is:

This is the reason good race tracks only exist in the middle of bumfuck nowhere in SoCal. Buttonwillow is a Hell Hole, Willow Springs is an armpit, Chuckwalla is in a city called DESERT CENTER... All great race tracks, but terribly punishing on cars and drivers in the summer months. It was 105 and 80% humidity 2 weeks

A state-of-the-art shopping mall is called the fucking internet. The only malls that are flourishing in Southern California are ones like The Grove, The Americana and one’s like this one https://www.westfield.com/topanga. Which Irwindale’s demographics could not support.

This Doesn’t Make Any Sense! Why are they building more Fucking Malls!

Mine is a lease that is up in 6 months... so that may be the differentiator.

Paint Job... nononono... unless you’re painting a car you don’t care about, you don’t want to go cheap on this. Paint is more than just aesthetic. It’s protects the metal from corrosion.  

I would agree as long as it’s synthetic. But if you have a high revving engine or put a lot of stress on it, I’d disagree. My Miata get’s Motul 8800, but that has 135,000 miles on it and I pretty much only drive it on the track... that’s where high quality really makes a difference.

I’m not saying there aren’t some people that prefer that lifestyle, but most people prefer not living where it takes 45 minutes to drive to the closest restaurant, grocery store or human settlement.

National median income is pointless when you start talking about NYC. A good way to figure that out is to look at median home prices.

Not in a place worth living.

You braced yourself during a 50mph accident? Riiiiiight.

I’ve seen maybe a dozen in the wild and I live in Los Angeles and work near Calabasas, the land of expensive convertibles... they are exceedingly rare. I can say this car is very near the top of my list of most visually attractive cars, only superseded by it’s spiritual predecessor and inspiration, the BMW 507.
