Er... oh well, if you want to, you can look up my license plate # and rape me or something, I'll have some interior pictures in a few minutes when it gets dark. That's when the interior shines.

It's really fast. The other day, I raced a 5.0 v8 with some modifications and whooped him. Not sure what all he had done or what the stipulations were, but I go to school with him and know he fixed it up a pretty good bit.

As far as MSRP, I think it goes for around 21. I had to go about 350 miles away to get what I wanted because they are quite rare around my parts.

Why bother blanking out your license plate, I figure...much more likely to be shot by some nutjob with a loaded gun in their glovebox :D

Nice looking car, hope it holds up well for you (supposedly Hyundai is getting better). MSRP of 21k for this car would make it pretty much fully loaded. Every Hyundai I see around here is owned by some ricer who thinks when the paint on their fartcan matches the LED's in their windshield wipers, their whip is pimped...

Does Hyundai have a bad rep? Just out of curiousity. I haven't really heard anything negative about them, but I keep hearing stuff that's hinting towards a bad rep. Either way, it's got a 10 year warranty.

Haha, I hate ricers. It screws the car over. Especially those ones that make their own car club and then draw a sign for it on a piece of posterboard and put it in their windshield. Not the whole piece of posterboard, mind you, but the part that has writing on it. That's what someone at my school did, makes me so mad cause it's a 93 nissan something or another. Oh well.

I live in Alabama. It's a fairly quiet neighborhood, but I grew up in Iowa, so I haven't really adapted to the lifestyle here.

ImageShack just died so I'll post pictures of my seats in a few minutes. They're my favorite, or close to it.

Haha, have trouble believing it then, but it happened. It may have been that he didn't know what he was doing or he messed up or something, but it sure as hell isn't a lie.

I'm not sure why, but I love the seats. The simple design of them is pure absolution. And now, the seats with flash.

Yeah, it shouldn't be able to take a V6 mustang easily.

172 hp @ 6,000 rpm

181 lb-ft. @ 3,800 rpm

The kid probably messed up his car "modding" it. :)

Hyundai doesn't have the best rep, mainly because they are Korean and Korean cars have an overall bad rep for one reason or another. I think Hyundai has came a long way in the last couple of years. It's a nice looking car but it'd be described peppy at best. Still probably fun to drive if you have the 6spd.

Heh, I'm still in high school, so it's the best I could do. Oh well, they have a great warranty, so if it so happens that anything DOES go wrong, I think most of it will be covered.

And as far as peppy, are you talking about speed or looks?

585824763[/snapback]

Its a great car for a HS student. I meant peppy as in speed. Like its responsive but not so much powerful. :)

Just don't put stickers and stuff on it and it will stay a good car. :)

Which transaxle is it?

nice car man, I have a Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai has come a looooong way so don't listen to any of the Hyundai bashers. Really great cars for a great value, couldn't be happier with mine.

However, the part about racing a v8 and winning, yeah I dont really believe that, lol. If you have the base Tiburon its the same engine as my Elantra, and even if you got the v6 no way is it faster then a v8.

Still, great car, I think youll love it!

It's FWD. If I do anything, it sure as hell won't be stickers ^_^

And why would I make up beating a 5.0? If you've read past posts, they've offered many optional reasons as to why I may have beaten him. I'm not even sure if it was a v8, I'm just going off the assumption that all 5.0s at that time were v8s. I'm so much of a noob at racing and stuff though, I won't even try and sound smart, but won't weight have somewhat of a factor in it? I know it won't be enough to factor a win, but I'm just curious. Thanks.

Nice on your elantra, they're nice cars.

By transaxle I meant transmission (yransaxle because it is FWD) :)

Is it 6spd, 5spd manual, or auto.

All 5L mustangs are V8. :) That's be a big cylinder in a V6. :)

What year was it? There are a number of reasons you could have beat him. A car is only as good as the driver... at least sometimes. :)

You could have raced from a stop and you started first, and you didn't go very far. Basicly street racing negates any kind of bragging rights. And don't go aroud telling people your faster than the GT. :)

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
