They aren't going, they are just not a perfect match to the new spring rate. Keep trying to find anything wrong with what I did. You will fail. Fuck you.
:rolleyes:  I don't have to try and find anything wrong with what you did, because it's painfully obvious what you did wrong.

I can't leave it alone because it's my damn car, and all of you just keep carrying on like you aren't a bunchnof assholes.

Nobody mentioned anything about this but you.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Shut up, asshole. This thread isn't about you or your car, and no one cares about you or your car.

Best not to ask. The "Accent" thread got deleted due to Nick not liking what was being said, so instead he brings his beefs to other threads.

Not to stir the pot but when I mentioned lowering the car I was referring to cutting the springs.

Also to get off of the topic of Nick being retarded, I would suggest some kind of interior modification. Different speakers or head unit, maybe nicer interior lighting or something? Bluetooth setup if you don't have one already? You spend all of your time in the car, looks are one thing but you don't enjoy them while you're driving.

Well I have a book on the subject, a big one. It is only half pictures so it's a really good book AND I've almost read half of it.

Kneel before me, my son, and bask in thy glory.














Seriously though, I have no idea what's going on.

I won't own(or drive a vehicle) without bluetooth for pandora, etc. If it doesn't have it a aftermarket radio is the first thing to install.

An aftermarket stereo system is almost always my first modification to a car.  Stock stereos are almost universally terrible.  Can't do the Infiniti though because it's Bose.  Although it is the first Bose car stereo I have ever heard that is actually half ass decent.  Still terrible compared to the system in my Explorer though.

I just used bluetooth last week for Pandora and it was awesome. Only bad part was the amount of time it takes to setup/connect. It's only like a minute, but you have to do it every time you turn the car on.

It's amazing how many of you suggest lowering a car. I guess I'm the only one that's not allowed to do that.

Go the fuck away and stop ruining other people's conversations.

My main problem with Pandora is that they repeat a lot of stuff, and their playlist isn't the greatest. I've had no software or connection problems though.

Pandora's selections suck after about 45 minutes to an hour, if that. Try googleymusic.

You guys are such assholes. You just can't get over yourselves. I perform technically sound and carefully calculated modifications to my car, and you ignorant fucks can't stop shitting on me because of some ideas you made up in your heads. Do you have a damn clue? You are shitting on me because of your ignorance. That is the definition of being an asshole. Meanwhile, you seriously suggest doing a ton of stupid shit to your own cars and expect me to let it go. Anyone else but you guys would look at this and see a bunch of hypocritical bullys guided by a mob mentality. All of you are just being total fuckwads, and I have seriously had enough.

Soup is totally right that this requires apologies and mea culpa all around. But I know that won't happen. So goodbye. For good this time.

Dude, you're the one who brought it up on the first page, you dumb fuck. Prior to that, no one brought up any of the previous bullshit since you came back. You brought this on yourself. Don't expect any apologies because you consistently insist on being a giant baby and crying about everyone being against you.

What about things which may have been available on higher-spec Sonatas that you don't have?  Leather interior, audio upgrades and the like?  Maybe raid the dealer's accessory catalogue.  At least if you use OEM equipment it will still look original to the car and not be a detriment when it comes time to sell or trade it.

If you want to do wheels, find a factory Hyundai wheel that looks like it could belong on your car.  That's what I did when I upgraded from steelies to Volvo alloys on my old 240.  Not only did it look factory original, but the bigger wheel and shorter sidewall noticeably improved the car's handling.

my car is the limited model so it has the leather.  interior wise i'm happy with it.  I used to be an audiphile but for the last decade or so i dont care as much.  Mostly i listen to audiobooks or npr anyways.  Its more a boredom thing with the way the car looks.  Whether it looks aftermarket or not i don't care.  I dont care about resale value either.  In 5 years the car won't be worth anything anyways.  I'm leaning towards black rims and leaving it at that.

All right, everyone's on time out. I've had enough of this shit. Each of you go to your rooms and don't come out until I'm done watching oprah.
