Just read through this whole thread.
Interesting list, in my 11 years driving, I'm only up to 7 (8 if you include my wife's car). Been in my TL for 3 years now & itching to replace it.

The SF looks nice, a neighbor of mine about a block away has a new SF Sport & it looks pretty nice as well.
The blue on the Veloster looks a lot better there than it does on the Hyundai website.

Sad to see the Genesis go, but if it helps with work, that means better toys down the line.

Been hearing a lot of good things about the Santa Fe. My uncle and my friend's parents both just got one. And that Veloster looks awesome!

OK, so here it is...
As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I had to trade in the R-Spec for the Santa Fe (for towing purposes)and that hurt. We moved in to a new house in October of last year which gave me a garage...to hold this:

I've been picking up items during the winter to add to this toy:






Plus Lowering springs, MAF mod, Exhaust and much more.

I've got to run, but there are more cars as well

Not that I know of.

A guy that used to work with my buddy did the motor/6MT swap. From what he said, it really wakes up the car. He drifts more than anything else though.

I think the difference is 40 horsepower?

Well, that wasn't even the good part; I mean it is good, but I'm keeping her garaged until spring so I haven't been able to drive it much. This is a hint on what I'm driving now...

It's the 1ZZ but the lower hp version. Ive already done an MAF mod and exhaust, but still need the time to install all of the other goodies.

EDIT...you might be right...another google shows the two interiors looking very similar. The older Equus didn't match.

So here goes.
I started driving the Santa Fe last year. I needed to tow a new product. At about the same time, my middle son decided he wanted a Gen 3.8 track coupe. I took him down to lease it and ended up cosigning. Long story short, He meets a girl and moves out leaving the Gen coupe behind...oh yes he did. At first I thought I would drive it and give the Santa Fe to the wife...
I drove it and didn't love it. Not only did I not love it, I didn't like it either. So now I have a car I didn't want and stuck with monthly payments i didn't need.

Side note - don't ever cosign for your kids, even if they are great. Something happens to the male mind when it comes to women, I think we all know what I mean. Needless to say, he's on my shit list for a while but that's how life goes sometime.

So now I ask the wife what she wants to drive and she wants nothing more than the 2012 Gen 3.8 sedan she has. I traded in the SF and the Gen coupe and bought the Equus. At this point I'm kind of lost on how many cars I've had now?
