You do have a problem: where are the wagons? I love RWD Volvos though.

I'm a HUGE Hyundai fan and am new here. Here are my babies.   Apparently I can't get these pictures to post with Imageshack uploader. Hmmm. The last one was a gift from my grandfather who was in the car business for 30 years. Pretty cool, gets me lots of honks, waves, whistles and race offerings.

As I posted in the "bad pic" thread, I actually got this car a month ago, but someone stole her the next day while I was out to eat, took the wheels, and caused 20k in damage from pushing it down the street, stuffing it, and not even putting it on blocks when taking the wheels. The outside of the car had to basically be hand put back together with some underside work as well, it took a little more than a month (with me driving a rented Volkswagon Passat in the meantime), and I gave it the detailed look-through today. The dealer's shop did an excellent job overall, with all OEM parts that I can find. Looks like nothing ever happened, really. i took a bunch of pics for reference, and I'll share a few of the "normal" shots here:

I'm so glad you got her back and in prime condition too!  Love that engine bay shot.

Looks great though.

Some Guy From NY posted:20k in damage and they didn't total the car? wow. Michigan needs at least 3/4 and in many/most cases 80% to total a car from the insurance companies. Some of the most accidents in the country and the highest average insurance rates in the country (I think), and the highest percentage needed for a total. I almost hit 2/3 in damages and it wasn't even a consideration for them to total it.

Got the car back from the auto-body shop to replace the front bumper after a friend backed into it. The shop ended up waxing the entire car. It didn't come out great in the photo but I think it's shinier than when I bought it new...

Those look like some Rota D2s. The Yaris does look good actually. Something about it and the Fit I really like.

I bought it new for $12,300 when gas prices were getting crazy and it's been a fun and dead reliable ride since I bought it, 50k miles later. It's a really fun car to drive. Even with I/H/E/TB it's still pretty slow in a straight line, but it handles pretty well (I installed Tein Steet Basic coilovers and TRD rear swaybar) and has decent stock brakes. There are a lot of good roads here around Portland, OR so I get to take it out and enjoy it regularly. ADINSX posted:what wheels are those? Looks really good. I drive a yaris too 16x7 Rota D2, ET38. I picked them up in trade from a guy on craigslist for a bunch of car parts. I didn't know how they'd look on the car being gold but it turned out great. Thanks for the kind words. Yaris bros One more I took last night, playing around with my new camera:
