Sacramento area, there’s a shitload of them. I drive over 100 miles a day for my commute. Interesting that I’ve seen 3 different Optimas this week with a burned out taillight. Aren’t those sposed to be LED? Heh. Also yes, most newer BMWs go to crap if maintenance isn’t followed, but your example was pretty stupid.…

Even I, a fervent Hyundai and Kia hater, have to admit this is a nice-looking car. However, I’m expecting HaK to fuck up some important detail in the suspension and chassis like they have always done. Regardless, HaK drivers look like Walmart shoppers and they’ll fit a lot of junk in their junk.

Maybe Rodman can paint it the same color of a Fresh Mint Tic Tac and drive it straight into Dear Leader’s gaping maw.

The reality is that I wouldn’t ever purchase those polished terds. I’ve driven a half dozen of them in the last 5 years and every one of them has left me completely underwhelmed. Oh sure they’re nice if you’ve never driven anything better. But I’m reminded of “a fool and his money are soon parted” every time I see…

Well we all know Hyundai and Kia drivers drive with the exact same tilt of the nose that 190E drivers did back in the day. The difference is the 190E still drives better than most Kias and Hyundais.

No. They are within 25lbs of eachother fully dressed. The M20, while iron, is relatively light for a straight 6.

I’m late for this article and greyed for not like Hyundais or Kias. Yeah, fuck those cars. Know why? No one will ever buy a 10 year old Hyundai or Kia unless they are desperate. That’s all. They are still shit and fuck the Stinger too. Anyway -

Hey, I’m late and greyed for my Hyundai/Kia hate, but I DD an ‘85 325e. I like my fucking diving boards, kthx, and mine are untucked. Had an E21 with diving boards too. Bumper elitism? Spell and pronounce “giubo” right and we’ll talk.

It’s good? No, it’s a piece of overpriced landfill junk, like every other Kia. It could be great to look at, fast and reliable. But it wouldn’t matter, it’s a Kia. It won’t be worth a wet fart when it’s warranty runs out.

Don’t be sad, it’s just a Kia. Nothing more than a soulless appliance ready to be bought new by a sucker and depreciate to landfill status. Just like every other Kia and Hyundai. Also, the Stinger is _fugly_.

My unreasonable hate is directed at all Hyundais and Kias. I almost died in an ‘87 Hyundai Excel, so I could be biased; but for the most part, their complete driving dynamics are still subpar to some 25+ y/o German cars and Hyundai/Kia age much worse. Terrible resale, and who would pay more than $40k for one? Kedona…

“Rakakakakakakakakakaaaa...” “You’re one ugly mother...”

The fine for _not_ using turn signals needs to go way the fuck up.

My ‘85 325e still has a working 3rd brake light. First year for it. Also, I’ve owned the car for 10 years and have never replaced that bulb yet!

Heh. My 32 y/o E30's check system will tell me if a headlight, taillight or license plate light burned out, but nada for turn signal lights. Old-school fast blink is the only indicator. But...BMW...no one uses their turn signals in a BMW. It’s kinda like when I get into my ancient Ford truck. Seat belts were an…

You aint kidding. I once had the (dis)pleasure of operating laser for a small non-automotive company that followed Toyota’s “lean manufacturing” principle. By following I mean they implemented it half-ass, making it a nightmare for the laser department. Anyway, Toyota’s manufacturing example is followed by many…

Don’t cry for him!

Too bad for you. I enjoyed both statements and upon contemplation yielded at least a dozen theoretical arguments on both sides over here. I spose arguing on the internet since 1995 does that to me. I’m pretty retarded. Therefore taciturnity is a blessed virtue, but in your case it seems to be like if dumb were…

I hear ya. My commute was less than 5 miles for almost 20 years, I just rode my bicycle or motorized bicycle, rain or shine. Doesn’t work too well in the snowbelt, tho lol. My current commute is 105-125 miles a day total *grumbles

Nice clip of that clip. Take back your t-bone.
