You read, you immigratin' -er?!??

As I posted, she ordered the Hyundai OptimaS5 from the factory. ETA October from Hyundai's Audi factory in Germany.

 

Watch her get her car faster than you got yours.

 

The dogsleds will get stuck with the COVIDs and she'll end up not receiving it until March.

 

paperwork change to a 2022 model year by then

 

You mean 2023. The one inbound is 2022.

 

Covid was a leap year, your math is wrong.

 

We are nevar wrong in teh maff.

 

I think we are relying too much on that assumption.
I checked my math and checked with my Asian Trig teacher
and my math is right.

 

We live up to our stereotypes. How else you explain me plowing into curbs and breaking my windshield?

 

Asians are wreckless?
or reckless?

 

We here to steal your windshields and break your curbs.

 

K so your are physic?

 

If so you should have predicted your own car would have had a delayed delivery and saintor getting his first.

 

You mean, am I psychic?




Of course I am.

I predict she'll plow into a curb too.

 

But hey...... what do I know?




Yeah. It'll probably get delayed though. Par for the course #2021

 

We'll never know if Saintor got his car. He got teh banned.

 

When you are psycho psychic you feel it in your core. You feel that in your core yummy?


Tell her to take out some kind of extended warranty or better insurance

 

You racist.. just because i am u just assumed i read? Well joke on you.

 

 

With the things on..... She might get a Happy Chinese New Year Gift in 2022.

 

Yeah, I warned her on that. I have the over/under for December ETA.

 

Be like big bro...pick up the new car in a blizzard and sub-human temps.

Rite of ownership for a Hyundai.

 

She probably be like.. No Thank you. Curb hitter.

 

Yeah...she should break the sunroof instead of the windshield.

 

I guess I should post it here as an "update":

So, it should come as no surprise that I've had a string of WTF-luck with the car that last couple of weeks...The crazy thing is, with Trumpvid-19 pandemic, I've basically barely drove the car but 4 weeks ago, I had to head to a site for an all-day meeting on a Friday. Came home, headed out on Saturday just for some air/errands with family. 5 minutes into the drive, low-tire pressure light comes on, MMI tells me it's the driver-side rear. Stop at a gas station, pump in some air...keep driving...go home. Next day, check the car, low-pressure. Son of a gun. Take it in to stealership, after inspection, side tear...likely from driving over a pothole. Fork over the cost of a new Continental tire.

The week AFTER (3 weeks ago). Another meeting, Thursday this time...head out...come home. I do recall driving over a pothole that I spotted too late (and BTW, the city I live in have some terrible roads because of the back-breaking winters). And maybe because I'm and can't drive, okay?!? Weekend hits, want to go visit my Mom...low-tire warning...FRONT driver's side. WTF...take car to stealership, tell them that I want to just swap them out for my summers since the snow is pretty much more or less gone at this point. Diagnosis: Tear on this tire too. Replacement. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

Monday. I take day off. Take care into detailer for the spring cleaning and re-touch of the ceramic sealant...Pick up the car and on the way around town for errands since day off, LOW TIRE LIGHT blinks again. PASSENGER FRONT. I let out a shriek of rage worse than seeing the new 7-Series...

Take the car in to stealership again...nail in the tire...at least no replacement.


I'm going to go sacrifice a goat now.

 

That is what happens when you have AWD... i heard you could only get nails in the rear if you had RWD

But tears on tires is rare... 2 in 2 weeks on 2 different tires is even more rare. You sure there is no one fucking with you cuz you are ?

 

No. From their assessment, they are from the awful potholes littered everywhere...not someone who slashed my tires. I park in staff parking that is gated and underground and with security for when I go in for meetings and etc. So, it's not from those.

I read that low-profile wheels have this vulnerability. Anyways, I guess destruction/abuse of the Hyundaudi Optima continues.

 

Sounds like you should sacrifice two goats, just to be safe.

 

Did they show you the tear?


Maybe it is time to get some winter wheels/tires that have taller sidewalls. (for next winter)

 

No...but, I trust their assessment given that I have a decent relationship with the service team. I dunno if I can given that the rims I have are Audi-made and while a different style from the stock rims that came with the S5, an alternate which I use for the winter rubbers.

I mean, my CL-S' rimes were not as wide and I think the roads back then here were not as bad. Budgeting and etc. and harsher winters with some insane temperature swings (from freezing to -20F and lower from week-to-week) may have made the roads particularly awful this winter. I mean, I had this car before the pandemic and drove it daily to work even through a brutal first winter of ownership and no issues.

I am unsure what to make of all of this but 3 wheel issues -- 2 of which were replacement tires -- in such a short sprint is nutbar.

 

Sometimes it doesn't matter how big your sidewalls are (aside from off road tires or something), the massive craters we have for pot holes in the tundra will eat them for lunch. Yummy should be thankful he didn't have to buy some new rims at the same time. #optimism

 

Sorry, hope your wheel issues are behind you!

 

Well he could use something like 255 55 17 or something like that... it would help for sure. and Ugly of course

But yah dont think it will fit over his brake tho.

 

Yeah, guessing the 17's wouldn't fit over the brakes... My car definitely won't do 17's and even most 18's won't fit either.

Jeep rolls on 315/70/17. It doesn't give a shit about potholes.

 

Yeah, potholes are a non-issue in the FX50 or the Countryman before.

 

Brother...on the orange S4 I think I had Conti when I first got it. I had bubbles and a tear when the car wash guys ran it into the little metal guide that puts it through the carwash at the dealership.
They bought me a new tire but I left that brand behind and have had nothing but great luck since. My current favorite NOT retarded priced wheel is the Firestone Indy500...sidewall is forgiving but
they LAST, they PERFORM and they are QUIET.

 

Maybe you should drive FX50 more often in the winter... yours might be rare nowadays. I dont see FX on the street anymore.

 

My wife takes the SUV mostly during the workweek. So, per my post, the string of bad luck was when she was out at th clinic and I had to also head out.

And no, I'm not BoostedJack enough to buy a 3rd vehicle.

 

I'm thinking you might wanna downsize your wheels, just because, given your track record...

 

I gotta destroy my car in style.

Be quiet.
