Thanks Maxim.  It's a fast car with it's modifications, and it's fun, but it's not nearly as fun when the original daily car is missing. (Soon to change less than a month from now.) Also not as fun with the motorcycle missing as well, but I'm hoping to buy another *British* motorcycle before the year is out. ... I've got a lot of cool stuff happening at the moment, in terms of my living space, lighting, and vehicles.

| Sweet vehicle, looks great!
I have a feeling that I may have asked this before, but here goes anyway, what sort of car are you planning to get as your daily driver?

@Baked bagel 11, my daily car will be something completely opposite from my sportcar... something slow and less powerful, with a 4 cylinder, non turboed engine. Probably a generic Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic... as long as it's an automatic. After I purchase it, I can put the Genesis up for a while in my Metal Halide lit garage, to get more engine work done as well as basic maintenance.

@suzukir122 - If you need any more help finding a used car, let me know! Toyotas and Hondas, while excellent cars, can have high resale value, thus not getting as good of a deal as something like a Ford Focus or a Hyundai Elantra, both of which are solid options (as long as they're older than 2012).

Yep, sounds like a plan @LightsoftheWest. I'll keep in touch with you through PM! The Ford Focus is also in the list of cars I'm highly interested in, in terms of overall reliability.

@suzukir122 — check local Facebook groups for good car deals. Often that is how you differentiate from the "r-built" cars and the genuinely good ones. We got my Honda Crosstour, EX-L, AWD, V6 for a grand total of $4500. He had it listed at $5700, but there was an A/C issue (compressor was out), and thus we got it for under list. And even list price is good, especially in this market. Just find someone local who simply needs to get it off their hands (NOT a dealer or reseller!! I would personally recommend Honda and Toyota, maybe the occasional Ford. But I would stay from Hyaundai, Kia, and the likes. They're cheaper used for a good reason.

| Oh yes, I've already made plans to avoid Hyundai and Kia. Reliability is key, and Hyundai and Kia just isn't it.
