How does a college student afford all those cars?
must be that college student that "made" $115 million off bed bath & beyond... only to find out he was given $25 million to invest with in the first place lol

Nope...thats the 2024 model(s650). I'm going with the 2023 GT(s550). Don't really like the interior of the new one.
Never hurts to own the final model year of a generation. I'd generally rather have that than the first MY of the next gen. Enjoy!

Two things:

1) Didn't know you were selling! I might have reached out had I known - gave serious thought to a GT w/ PP for awhile. Such capable setups.
2) What's the new project?
1) Yep this is the Level 2 PP w GT350 frt hubs, 10.5/11" wheels, Sport Cup 2s, tighter susp tuning, very capable out of the box and up until 2020 could be had for about $45K
2) Not in hand yet but 2-3 choices narrowed LOL, one of them building up a manual Sport Z

It's quite a pivot from the Z, but I had this delivered last month. 2022 Elantra N, 6MT, Cyber Gray. Secured it at MSRP a few states over, which rules. Was trying to hold out for a Z, that's still a struggle, was debating a GR86 but I don't want a Subaru engine, GRC's are Unobtanium, would like a new M2 but that's a) not until later this year and b) I don't want to pay interest at that level of money so started doing some research and this entered the picture.

Holy hell, what a car. I'm convinced Gandalf or Dumbledore lives within the LSD, and N mode is just stupid fun. Car drives on rails. Photos don't do them justice, either - I wasn't sure about it until seeing it in person and spending more time with it. Now I can't help but to turn back every time I park it and admire. Really grows on you.

I'm no photographer by any means so forgive the quality, but during my racking up the break-in mileage I couldn't resist a trip to a place where I very much intend on taking it one day. Going to start out with autocross and get my chops back, probably Thunderhill for first track day since it seems to be a bit more forgiving. It's been many moons since I've had something sporty that enjoys being thrashed around, couldn't be happier about it. Ultimate stress relief.

Hyundai and Kia make just about the best cars nowadays, with killer tech and very attractive stylings! I really like the EV6, so futuristic. Congrats, that's a beauty.

2 years in, still using the Poopra as the racecar.

Newest addition is my boring electric car which is not picture worthy but super practical. That and my 35 year old Jeep. Not sure what is going to be next for this year. Thinking an old muscle car.
