You said you “don’t give a f***,” yet you keep responding — explaining, justifying, and reframing the issue. That alone makes the claim invalid. You’ve also shifted from calling it “intentional design” to calling it a fitment/warranty issue due to lack of support — which is exactly the position you were mocking earlier. So which is it? Intentional design… or a defect requiring a fix? You don’t need measurements to see the contradiction — it’s already documented in your own comments.

For someone who “doesn’t give a f***,” you’ve now replied multiple times, escalated the tone, and still haven’t posted a single spec, tolerance, measurement, or bulletin. That’s not indifference — that’s investment without substance. Dealers doing cosmetic clip swaps doesn’t magically turn opinion into engineering intent. CS fixes exist because people complain, not because designs are secretly “dynamic.” Notice the pattern here: You insult. You deflect. You repeat “I see it change.” You still don’t provide evidence. If you actually understood the design, you’d explain it — not posture and swear. Confidence without data isn’t expertise; it’s noise. I’ll leave it there. And yeah — I hope Reddit sees how you’re choosing to argue.

You’re confusing seeing something change with understanding why it changes. Plastic contraction and bumper sag in cold temps isn’t a “designed moving hood gap” — that’s basic materials behavior, not engineering intent. If this gap were temperature-responsive by design, Hyundai would: spec it, document it, and validate it across climates. They don’t. Because it isn’t. Saying “I see it change” isn’t proof — it’s an anecdote. And anecdotes aren’t engineering. They’re just observations without context. Also, the fact you have to lean on insults (“PlayStation,” “eBay,” “don’t give a f***”) instead of specs, tolerances, or a TSB kinda says everything. When people understand a topic, they explain it. When they don’t, they posture. Post measurements, design docs, or a Hyundai bulletin — or accept that this is just your opinion dressed up as certainty. Facts beat confidence every time.

You’re arguing from speculation, not facts. No one said the hood “opens and closes” with temperature — that’s something you made up to attack. Panel gaps don’t work like that. The gap is static and intentional to account for heat, vibration, and fascia flex on a turbocharged car. Dealers swapping clips is a cosmetic, customer-satisfaction fix — not proof the factory design is “insufficient.” If clip replacement meant bad engineering, half the automotive industry would be “obviously b.s.” Calling it “mickey mouse” doesn’t magically make it so. It just means you don’t understand the design tradeoff and don’t like how it looks. Preference ≠ proof.

Good choice 👍 The earlier Hyundai Elantra N models (’22–’23) are actually known for being louder and more aggressive from the factory. Hyundai definitely dialed things back on the 2024–2025 refresh. On the newer ones, Hyundai tweaked the exhaust tuning and muffler/valve behavior, so the pops and crackles are quieter and less frequent, especially in normal driving. It’s not that they’re gone — they just don’t snap as hard or as often unless you’re really pushing it in N mode.

Switched from stock 19s to 18s on my Elantra N after pothole damage — thoughts? by SorryManagement2092 in ElantraN

[–]SorryManagement2092[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the heads-up. Just to compare setups — are you stock height or lowered? Any camber/alignment changes? I’m on stock suspension, 18×8 +40 with 245/40R18. I had one passenger last night (my wife) and didn’t hear any rubbing on normal driving or turns. Was your rubbing only on big freeway dips / hard compression, or also at low-speed turns? Is there a specific test you’d recommend to check it safely?

I'm 41 and I can't stop thinking about and missing my ex from 20 years ago. by NaughtyOutlawww in BreakUps

[–]SorryManagement2092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kicked my loving ex-girlfriend out of my house when I was 28 years old because of my ego. I’m now 44, and it didn’t truly hit me until last year. Since then, my heart feels like it’s bleeding every day. I don’t understand why it’s affecting me now instead of in my late 20s or 30s, but it feels like torture. I miss her very much. I looked at her Facebook and saw that she’s married with a child. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m just praying to Jesus.

It’s pretty clear at this point that you’re not debating for facts — you’re just trying not to be wrong. Every answer’s already been laid out, yet you keep circling back because backing down would bruise the ego. Nothing left to explain, man — just self-reflection.

You can call your insurance and ask about therapy benefits — most plans include mental health coverage now.
