Well you won't have to put up with much of that from here on. My GT2 is here and I don't spend time waiting for it. Sorry if I bored anyone, offended some or overstated my opinions. Bye.[dunno]

With all due respect, I'm glad I didn't buy a "new" car that was broken in that way.... [thumbdown]

Paced by two BMW's and an Audi on the highway looking mine over. No thumbs, but no middle fingers, either. [biggrin]

I hate to generalize, and maybe the guy just overlooked the distance if he was talking on the phone, but I've also seen people who do things like that on purpose. They drive crap and they are jealous of anyone who doesn't and has enough money to buy a new ride. I worked as a deputy sheriff for...

The car does some strange things if you are in Start/Stop mode and are creeping. The manual says not to do that. It's like it can't decide whether to shut off or not.

So what is wrong with air at 78% Nitrogen? What is inside the tire that would oxidize and cause problems or harm or damage. That is absurd. (I'm a chemist.) This is racing stuff, mainly because pure nitrogen shows slightly (SLIGHTLY) less pressure change as tires heat. But on a passenger...

And just what is the purpose of doing that?

Are you seeing many Stingers in Johnson County? I lived there for many years. Lots of up-scale buyers around.

Actually I will make one finance payment and then pay off the entire car in order to get the rebate allowance. So really it's a cash payment begun as a finance. It really bothers me that a cash sale doesn't qualify for the "lease cash."

Naw, my GTO is about that same blue. Needed something different for contrast.

There is a lot of "instruction" in the manual about rebooting stuff, reconnecting stuff, etc. if something goes wrong with the system. Might also depend on you phone and the OS it is using. There is a list of questionable phones and OS's in the online manual.

This is very true, I think. I'm in SW Missouri, many miles from any city of any size (KC, Tulsa, etc.). There is no public transportation, no bus lines going through here, no passenger trains, no Amtrak, no Uber, no ride sharing, no choice. If I lived in a metropolitan area, I'd take public...

It depends a lot on the temperature. I refuse to use a commercial car wash, so all of my cars are hand-washed. Since I live in an area where winter temperatures can be below freezing for days at a time, I often go weeks between car washes. Any other time of the year I wash when it's dirty...

The manual says "Total" which is not available (as far as I know) in the U.S. I'm sure it's a synthetic.

Mobil 1 keeps ahead of the game. If you watch their listing of standards, you'll see that they meet everything and are always a step ahead. Good video from Engineering Explained on YouTube where he shows what Exxon-Mobile does in their labs in testing.

The manual says the oil must meet GF-4 standards. I've used Mobil 1 for both of my GM small-blocks in the G8 and GTO and it's rated GF-5. That's what I'm using.

Good find, MarkyMark. I tried to find a GT1 AWD DriveWise and there were none available. I placed an order and the entire order just -- disappeared. [dunno] What I think Kia is doing is saturating the market with the GT2 top level trim cars to skim the cream off the top, then they will begin...

There are several pages in the owner's manual (I only have the online version since my car is due in 2 days) that describe the ways in which manual will revert to automatic mode. This is normal on all cars. For example on my "old" Pontiac G8, if you are in manual mode and come to a stop, it...

Might be related to the fact that overheating would be detrimental to the ventilation system used in the seats in the summer in the GT2's. Tube in the seat have to be very thin to transfer heat or cooling to your butt and if heating wiring is too hot, it could break down seat components. Give...

Yeah, well, uh... you haven't seen me yet. That's the main reason I use a red Stinger for an avatar. [8D]
