Look in the Mid A spotted thread, Kirk.

You smoked my truck today :-p

Also, looks like my thermostat has gone kaput.

Damn Rob! How?

So glad to see you Kirk. It's been a long while man.

Random luck, or lack thereof? Common item to fail, really...and fairly easy to replace on the Z. But ordering one may take some time to receive it, so she's down for a week or two at least more than likely.

Roger that man. Glad to hear!

Better to catch it on a quick drive around the neighborhood, than on the 35ish mile drive to the Columbia meet on Saturday, right?

Also, better now than say, 2 days before a track event :-p

That sucks man.

So I got a new toy last night....

2013 Veloster Turbo w/ultimate package. My new DD.

Got an outstanding deal on it after having 3 dealerships compete for my business.

Funny thing, driving home on route 1 in woodbridge, I had a civic try to race me...

I feel like a 17 year old all over again!

The (+)

fun to drive (not near as fun as the z, but for a FWD its pretty epic
Great gas mileage
cheap to maintain
Great sound system (beats the Z's bose system pretty bad)
panoramic sunroof (not that I needed it)
The 1 door on the driver side, 2 on the passenger side
takes regular gas
I can remote start, lock the doors, unlock the doors, pull codes, get diagnostics through a bluelink app on my phone, pretty epic

The (-)
Absolutely shitty all seasons - These kumho Solus tires are garbage. You can actually get the package to get, no joke, Michelin PSS's. (1200 dollar option)
The insurance is expensive, more so than the Z

Its not STI like al got (im not a "bawwws" like him!), or an s2k like steve has, but for a second vehicle for commuting this should get the job done I think. Sorry for the shitty quality pics.

Taken in front of my townhouse development

Taking delivery

That looks good Cris

MyKindaGuise · 01-11-2013, 07:58 AM

Im jelly Cris. I really need to get me a DD...

Masa · 01-11-2013, 08:12 AM

I'll take you in my Altima... pink slips!

dmhenderson · 01-11-2013, 08:17 AM

There's a 1990 ford bronco fs in my neighborhood for like $2k. I keep slowing down every time I pass it. If it runs, It'd be really tempting.

Hell no LOL

This thing is slow.

I was looking at a GTI, but our fearless leader led me in the right direction towards a Veloster as a DD. So I need to thank Steve for veering me in the right direction!

chieuxuan · 01-11-2013, 08:35 AM

I thought about the Veloster last year before I bought the Z, well, that didn't happen
