    Shoot, I'm thinking of recording my maintenance on this site. I believe Hyundai does free oil changes at 7,500 mile intervals for something like 36,000 miles. I'm thinking of ditching that and...

    Amen. I've been preaching against Korean cars for decades. The 2013 engine recall was a pretty big deal. Hopefully this car proves me wrong. I'd like to get 300k miles and six years out of it.

    I’ve been preaching against Korean cars for the last 25 years. This go around I was considering getting a Toyota Corolla but the Elantra has so many more features and gets the best gas mileage out...

    Certainly glad to be back. Dad's car now has a check engine light that is causing it to not pass emissions. Being that it doesn't look like a cheap and easy fix, I had to think of something to keep...

    Shoot, if anyone on the forum wants to mess with it I’ll sell it here for $1,000. Y’all know the history on it. Car has a few scratches and dents but it’s been a good car.

    Right now the plan is to simply see how the transmission shifts after the clutch is replaced. Should it fix my problem then it’s time for new brake pads and whatever else it is I do every 100k...

    That looks like the perfect combination since I don’t already have a slide hammer. I just learned Monday is suppose to be some sort of BLM economy blackout thing. That being said, I’m going to...

    My advice would be to just replace the compressor and be done with it.

    Most American's don't get as much life out of cars as I do. The average consumer gets a scratch on their car, or a tear in a seat and instantly thinks they have an old piece of junk. To me, there...

    Maybe I'm missing something but won't removing the doors increase wind resistance? Not sure what your goal is here. Are you looking to increase MPG, or is just just purely about weight loss.

    No updates other than I've been busy and am still driving the thing around. The car just hit 298,000 miles. I figure, I might as well put it off another 2,000 miles just so I can say I got 300,000...

    I have to disagree. A bigger battery will make the car go faster. Increase the battery size, put a few lightning bolt stickers on the side of the car, and you will suddenly have a car capable of...
