Do you guys not have a lot of the genesis around you? They are not everywhere, but people around here who want to look flashy love their hyundais and chryslers. Usually with rims, and blacking everything out. Of course a car gets better when the tail lights, emblems, windows, and any little thing they can find is black. Way better.

Then again, when they drive past they are usually flying. 4-4.4k pound cars must get great mileage chugging along at 85+.

I see Genesis coupes all over the place. Not many sedans though.

The female Soldier with the Genesis coupe said "I am good at driving, just not pivoting" as she tried to explain how she scratched her very shiny car. Apparently, she since had that fixed, but I keep thinking that I will cut a sliver of bar soap and draw a scratch on it..

Pivoting?! What is that supposed to be?! They have her drive some of the largest trucks in the Army!

Oh, I think she was one of the three female Soldiers I found sitting in a truck months ago, when we were supposed to be inspecting them. I walked up and asked if there was a problem. "The truck will not start."

So, you are using Social Media?

I do not even know where the middle one was sitting, there are only two seats!

In my personal experience in my own area (AKA, I don't want to offend anyone here by this), the only people who buy hyundais or chryslers have not looked at any other vehicles.

I do have a lot of respect for the Velositer, and the little GT wagon. I don't care for GT going on an economy hatchback/wagon, but I like the car. Not great, but good value, like the Velositer.

I have a friend who keeps going through Chrysler cars, but she probably thinks they are the cutest or something.
