I replaced the clutch hydraulics this spring. It was easier than I thought! EricTheCarGuy has an awesome D-I-Y video that covers it all. Parts were under $30 from RockAuto. I was able to get the job done solo, using a fluid extractor to bleed the system.

I'm going to gather up all of my posted 360º vids into a playlist today. I'll keep experimenting with it.

Hyundai helped kickstart my Ain't Fuelin' project and loaned me an older Sonata to test with, early on. That's the car rolling out of the garage in the intro: https://youtu.be/zFl6n1T1FCw

Hyundai/Kia has had a long road to hoe and navigated it well. They're piling improvement on top of improvement, showing their motivation and attention to the market. So when I think about it, the Niro's ability isn't that surprising. They're on the upswing, hunting for advantage and marketing, and will be for a while until they hit the complacency that the Japanese found over a decade ago.

Post the 360 stuff! It's a bit different, and different is an edge on YouTube. Not sure you'll want to do everything that way, but folks with the patience for it will find it to be an interesting bonus. I found myself doing the looks down the road for traffic when you were stopped for a turn. It's immersiveness lite.
