and won an award. I went to a car show hosted by our state's radio station - k104.7. Yes I entered the QX4, in the show and the sound competition. I won a trophy for 3rd place in loudest system hitting 136.7DB. Pretty good for 2 12" subs. I left around 9:30 AM, got there around 10:30 and left at 6. There were no clouds and it was 105 degrees. Boy was that a fun day :(. Luckily there was a mall.

M3 Dinan. Very rare. I hung out with the owner (in his mid 40's) most of the time. Very nice guy. He had a pathfinder so we talked about that for a bit. He really liked my car, since its in very good condition. Someone offered $15,000 for my car. No joke. IDK why.

The whole state? That can't be sanitary.

Congrats on the trophy man. You should have sold the QX4 for 15,000 on the spot :)

exactly what any sane person would've done.......but if it is true.....the only answer is: "we're talkin Nala here; need i say more?"

This same H2 was at the UConn show I went to. Lots of work and money went into it... still doesn't help the fact that its ugly and mostly useless.

Nice trophy!

Driving home on I40 the other day I saw one that someone had slapped a HEMI badge just below the pt cruiser one. :facepalm: Really? C'mon. Honestly.

That stupid Hyundai is one of the best looking cars there.

I'm getting so sick of reading articles (both online and in print) that talk about how the new Sonata is a breath of fresh air after the boring-looking last-gen. I'll take boring over holy-s***-my-eyes-self-destructed Fugly any day. Oh, and the last-gen had a V6 option. :squint: The '04+ Sonata is better looking than its contemporary Accords or Camrys.

It may not have a v6 now but they will have a "250hp +" kappa turbo engine in the future.
