    Awesome, thanks guys. Anyone have a pic of a WGM with the red valentis? I'm torn now between that and the smoked. @Burna J 's ride looks really nice and it's swaying my decision.

    I got mine on the private sales here on the chat, check there. Here's mine with the red Valenti's, my kids think it looks mean with the reds. Good luck with your search, Cheers!

    Had Toyota perform the free 10k mile service today a little early at 8800 miles as I was getting close to one year of ownership. Also needed to update the State Inspection / Emissions so had that done too.


    On my way home I passed a Hyundai dealership and saw a Shiny new white color (nice huge black dual sunroof) 2015 Sonata hybrid Limited w/ preferred package with 8k off posted all over it right out front. I said why not go check it out... Took it for a test drive, only 6 miles though and with a salesman...It drove real nice, it has an actual 6 speed auto tranny and not cvt like the Prius. I had no idea how to drive it "correctly" like I do the Prius so the mpg wasn't that great on my test drive but it was very comfortable and very fully loaded up, was quite luxurious!! The main negative is the small trunk which only has a small cut through in the middle and no folding rear seats! They did have 2 redesigned 2016's on the lot which I also saw and they now get a few mpg better and a bigger trunk but no discounts...

    Even with over 8k off I don't think I can give up the lift backs hatch versatility and the slight loss of mpg @ 36/37/40mpg... (can't even fit a folding bike in the sonatas trunk lol., let alone my 29'er or road bike).

    Anyone on here own / owned a sonata hybrid? Opinions??

    My story for today :)

    I PUT A SOCK IN IT!!!
    I used some crew socks to install metal sun visor extenders on driver and passenger side visors. The extensions are made from aluminum roof flashing cut to size and sanded off.:

    Grinding to get this MPG after a practically empty tank. I filled up at 9.4 gallons.

    Definitely a grind. Not even sure if I can do better with bad tires and 17s.(n)

    Actually, my DW washed them with her new red dress, and they came out pink, whereupon they became fair game for being cut up for use as visor extension support hose!

    Got the shark fin on today. My wife had to help me eyeball it cause I got so frustrated trying to center it. The curves really makes some weird shadows that make it look crooked.
