Yes, but nothing too dramatic. If you're interested I can talk more about it, but we should probably move the conversation to PM's or elsewhere and not take this thread any father from the topic than we've already gone!

Hyundai TCR win. A little Hyundai news for the morning.

I had a bag so the mess was contained. However, the life support techs were very clear telling me that if anything got into my oxygen mask, I would be the one taking it apart and disinfecting the whole assembly. As a military officer cadet, there was no way I was going to make some poor...

I've only use DP's Hydro Wet Seal and one from another brand I can't remember. In both cases, I don't recall durability being more than a week or two in good conditions, let alone in harsh winter conditions. I don't think these types of products were ever designed for lost lasting durability...

Some people do like the sound and fury of an engine with a good exhaust, the vibrations from the power train, and slapping there way through the gears with a manual transmission. Those arguments too have merit as the full experience is part of the fun as well. I'll never discount that part of...

I may look into it more and check out some videos on techniques/tools. For my little car, it might be a viable option for the simple maintenance wash. For larger SUV's that are frequently filthy is it a viable option? I have to admit that standing on step ladder and using a pole-mounted mitt...

Those kind of numbers are exciting, but how do they drive? Not just a poke at these MG's but across the board it seem automakers put insane power into vehicles with tiny brakes and squishy supersessions. It makes it really hard to truly harness that power and use it to the full potential...

I'd be happy with that too, but other than the new 911, I don't see many companies going that way. I hope I'm wrong. Hybrids are less expensive and can make up for some of the shortfalls of an gas engine by delivering high torque for accelerating off the line and launching out of corners...

I freely admit to being in this camp. I think I'd be more open to trying it if it didn't require a bucket full of wash media to cycle through to keep the paint safe. I don't really have room for piles of additional towels. And speaking of the bucket...I have to fill it with the hose anyway...

I saw that too. Those numbers are very similar to the Ioniq 5 N. From casual observance the Lyriq is a much bigger car, but I've been surprised more than once by Ioniq 5 size comparisons. It's a much bigger car than it appears to my eyes. I'm glad to see automakers outside of Porsche to to...

I have a similar thoughts to these two posts. I've heard about a two-bucket wash for a long time, but I don't always use it. If my cars are just dusty/slightly dirty or I'm pressed for time, I'll use the hose to clean out my wash mitt after each section. If the vehicle is really grimy, I'll...

Anyone with a phone can post a video and just because they have a shop they work at every day doesn't mean they product the highest quality work. Think about all the "pro detailed" cars we've seen with holograms all over them.

When I first saw the post and watched the video, I dismissed it figuring it was just another sealant labeled as a wax. I've seen other sealants with hydrophobics that good or better. Then I looked them up and it does actually have carnauba wax in it. With both the wax and the polymers in it...

Agree. When you factor in the sub-par Hyundai dealership experience they fall way behind. I'm really surprised they haven't pushed the seperate dealership effort harder. Until Genesis can stand on it's own with totally separate dealerships they won't be able to compete on that front either.

I prefer a more robust sealant and then hit it occasionally with a topper for appearance sake and extend the life of the sealant. While I rarely use sealants any more, my current hands down favorite is Wolfgang's Ceramic Paint Sealant. I apply it with my DA and remove it by hand...

The sad part is the average new car price in the US is now $47K. If you look at it that way, the Mustang is only slightly over that average! I agree though, inflation has hit the car market pretty hard. I have noticed the used market is starting to settle down a bit. Now we only need lots of...

Yep. At the HPDE when that Jeep Grand Cherokee TrackHawk passed me I asked my instructor, "How is that even possible?" He replied, "Electronics. Lots and lots of electronics."

In some ways I agree. But like Klasse mentioned with some crazy engineering and lots of electronics, there are SUV's being built today that are faster in the straight line and the curves than many low, aerodynamic, sexy, two-seater sport coupes on the road...a lot faster... Would I want to...

The NASCAR truck series still exists and is a feeder to the top levels of NASCAR. In reality they are no more a "truck" than the NASCAR "cars". They are all tube frame vehicles with a fiberglass skin. I too used to think there could be no way a SUV could deliver performance until I...

Sadly, the Crown Sport will likely never see US soil. We never seem to get any of the good, sporty stuff.
