Yeah, stuck my hand down there and found it right away. Unfortunately, any bluetooth or other readers will hang down and any lighting they have will be distracting in the dark.

Nice choice! Welcome and congratulations!

I'd say he's very sold on the Kia Stinger!

Now, if someone could just come up with a phone holder that clipped gently but firmly onto the frame of that thing...

By detention, I assume you mean "detonation"? That's really, really bad. If it was a spark plug that let go somehow, OK. But that would be really rare, and this is a pretty scary story. Please keep us posted!

Wow - got that brochure from my dealer about 2wks before the first Stingers arrived at their dealership. That's an expensive marketing campaign. Personally, I finally gave up on my Autoweek subscription about a year ago. Started in 1985. They seemed to lose a bit of their way and my...

Please keep us posted as you go forward, even creating your own thread on all your progress if you're willing! Good luck!

* I find the wind noise surprising - a bit more than I expected. I find the road noise to be quieter than what I'm used to so far. I'm satisfied at this point. But, it's brutal winter temps and all-season tires here. Both can affect those judgements. And yes, it's a subjective measurement. *...

Less caffeine for the camera operator next time, please.

Volcanic rock? That should disintegrate paint. I would think that you could do the front and then use mudguards to help prevent spraying the sides. Regardless, I'd definitely find competitive bids. That kind of work by a dealership is often done by the less-experienced, etc.

Great write-up! I enjoyed your perspective. I can't wait for this frigid weather to end and get rid of some of the snow pack.

In my case it's the dealerships. I only have a very few that I trust. BMW, Audi, Porsche, VW are out for me.

Congrats and yes, pics! Welcome to the forum - glad you're not dealing with frozen temps and can drive AND wash your new car! LOL

Congrats, welcome, and here's to it arriving early!

Encountered this and thought it may help some considering "winter" tires: https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/261232-3-car-types-demand-winter-tires

Wow! Great tip here - I knew I needed to read those manuals...
