I have a love for all cars of course. But I have to admit lately I’m becoming a bit of a Hyundai/Kia fan boy. To the point that both the Stinger, Veloster N and G90 are all at the top of my list for my next car. Read more

Appreciate it. But yea its very hard. But Im going to pick up something for myself thats fun or enjoyable to drive soon that I will DAILY. Not just some weekend toy.  Read more
