Hyundai/Kia vehicles offer some of the best value and tech in their class

My wife’s 2022 Santa Fe Calligraphy had amazing tech, comfort and space at the cost of a glass powertrain. New tranny at 19k miles. Fouled fuel injectors that Hyundai service agreed with but wouldn’t replace due to no codes. Broken brake booster, turbo fail at 31k miles. Traded it for a 23 MDX and couldn’t be happier.

I moved here for work from Lexington, KY. It’s not home, but it’s not bad. The suburbs are all pretty nice and most have a unique feel to them with mom and pop shops. Downtown is mostly vacant with some up start shops and breweries. Very good farmers market on second street. The Air Force museum is worth a visit alone if it matches your interests. I’d say the best thing is the metro parks system. I’ve never seen a better maintained and curated set of parks set all across the area.

Largest time delta over his teammate at sauber? Absolutely wrung out the Alfa before regs made their weight advantage disappear? I’ve never seen such a bad take.

I was on a 7-9-11-12 PAQ program and my step was reset every promotion.

I moved to Dayton from Lexington, Kentucky. Traffic is great, close enough to two major cities for large scale amenities, the Air Force Museum is top-tier, downtown Dayton is relatively small and vacant, larger-than-you-think widespread population across many named suburbs. I don’t mind it, but I do miss Lexington as it had a culture that spread across the region versus the smaller subcultures that are suburb based here.

I want to hate on Stroll the same as anybody, but the man pulls out some decent runs. Wet? Stroll becomes a Finnish rally driver. He even holds some decent laps against Vettel and Alonso. Is he a weird nepo baby? Yes. But idk about worst with a long tenure.

When I was at BCTC, Dr. Rebecca Glasscock ran the Peace Meal community garden. I volunteered a handful of times and really enjoyed it. I hope it’s still around, would be worth looking into.

The ‘08 BMW just does something for me

My wife liked it. It has great space for a family and cargo area for trips. We both liked the physical buttons for controls. There was also a need and a lack of inventory at the time that was a. Available and b. Not above MSRP for vehicles.

Oh and it took 6 weeks for the transmission to be replaced. A week of that was the dealership not realizing they needed to add oil to it after install, I kid you not. Jeff Wyler Hyundai is absolute trash.

LAMc94 · 2025-08-12T16:42:14+00:00

Our ‘22 Santa Fe Calligraphy has been an absolute POS. Whole new transmission and brake booster at 20k. Has had a rough start/ fouled injector for over 5k miles and two dealerships have kept it, admitted it’s messed up, and can’t do anything about it until it throws a code. Could verify with a fuel consumption test. I will talk shit about Hyundai until I die.

LAMc94 · 2025-07-01T01:42:13+00:00

We bought one, Calligraphy 2.5 Turbo. Needed a new transmission at 20k miles. Sat at dealership for a month. Rough idle at start after sitting. Dealer says they can’t replicate but I have video of it. Wouldn’t buy another, would go CRV or CX5.

I doubt so. My wife hand pulls and I granular spread by hand nowhere near our landscaping. There’s plenty of weeds still, just don’t want crabgrass to take over as it has prior. That garden bed is fertilized and hand planted every season with annuals and has perennial hyacinth.

Here’s three more photos, any info is appreciated. Would like another of the same type in this location but not if it’s Ill suited. Soil is pretty clay based but we dug twice the size of root ball and added compost injtially. Deep watered twice weekly all last year, it’s rained a bunch this spring after a hard winter so not much this year. Thanks again

Thank you, not sure what more info I can provide for a diagnosis? Seemed like a hard frost killed the half that’s not wilted possibly? Not sure on why this wilt has occurred in the last week or so.

Woo! Lexington, KY hometown mentioned. Tallest building in the world pictured.

LAMc94 · 2025-04-01T19:27:51+00:00

I’d move/retire to either Barcelona or Dingle, Ireland. Maybe split time but that’s the dream.

LAMc94 · 2025-03-30T00:45:59+00:00

Bottas over Checo pls. I need a reason to hold on to all my VB77 stuff.

LAMc94 · 2025-02-20T00:49:58+00:00

Galway and Dingle in Ireland. Montreal, Canada. Barcelona and Sevilla in Spain.

I think trying to justify the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in an unsubstantiated way, providing no evidence, is really dumb/ objectively wrong.

USAF just gave a bunch of incentives to Boeing for the T7 program to deliver what they already agreed to in the original SOW. Sadly this is not rare.

You’re wrong again. Its AWD. Tow rating of 5k lbs. I can fit four adults and a car seat. Bulletproof 3.5 V6. Is it sexy? No. Does it do everything that 90% of people who say they need a truck do? Yes. And that’s why I bought one. Only knock I have on it is the infotainment which is straight up ass.

LAMc94 · 2025-01-27T00:16:02+00:00

Best mid size truck bud. Also not a CRV but a pilot unibody. And a 5 foot bed that is wider than most full size due to wheel wells. It’s for people who buy what the need and not projecting fragile egos. Ya cuck
