this is my car...... I didn't take this picture though

2011 Hyundai Elantra

NICE! Smart choice on the car. Hyundai makes GREAT cars. I have an '02 Elantra GT and have had it for almost 5 years with barely any issues. The new ones are even nicer. I definitely recommend Hyundai any time I get the chance.

They seem VERY overpriced though. For example the ix20 starts at £11,995 - the same price as a much nicer looking Ford Fiesta or Vauxhall Corsa that would surely hold its value better.

Until we can get over the mentality that we have that manufacturers like Hyundai, Kia and Chevrolet only produce cheap rubbish then buying one of their cars is always going to be a lesson in depreciation.

Yeah, the depreciation factor. I didn't even think about that. My car is only worth about $3000 or so Private Party value. That kinda sucks, but if you're going to keep the car for a long time, then the depreciation thing isn't that big of a deal. I may end up getting a different car or truck soon, but I've enjoyed my Elantra more than any other car I've had and that kills the depreciation factor, IMO.
 
Here is my new 2011 Ford Edge Sport AWD...totally loaded and very nice!

Panoramic roof, MyFord touch, Nav, all the nice stuff, plus the Mustang V-6 310 HP motor. :D

hey man how do you like your Edge Sport. I might look into getting this vehicle next year, I like the looks and it's freakishly well equipped at an amazing price here in my country.

How's the gas milage, comfortability, power, etc? feels solid?
 
My New Mid 2008 Seat Ibiza Ecomotive 1.4TDI. 1 second faster to 60 than the regular version with 80+ UK MPG, that is over a hundred US MPG.

Took these during a trip to the Lake District the other day. That's why the car is a bit dirty. Oh and sorry for the dodgy work cloning out the reg but I did it in a hurry.

Sorry but 80 UK MPG is more like 60 US MPG.
 
No sorry :( It's my Prelude.
I will be shooting some video of the EVO in the winter.
So no Prelude video?

Yes prelude video & list specs (if you're modded).

Awesome, I was browsing through your flickr some more, you take some sick shots.

Thanks for the compliments. I've been slacking lately with my DSLR.
Not a lot of modifications done to my car. Just a full Japanese Mugen exhaust, Mugen header. Spoon Sports front and rear strut bars, Spoon Sports, brake calipers, a few JDM BB6 parts and JDM DC5-R Recaro seats. Complete paint job was done about 8 months ago or so now. Original R-94 San Marino Red. The old paint & clear coat before had faded everywhere! Everything else is pretty much stock. I just go for the most JDM inspired look I can get with my cars. I'm not that heavy into modifying.

Alittle time lapse test I tried out with mounting the GoPro to the front of the car.

I've been trying to capture the perfect balance between exhaust note and engine but I can't seem to find the right mix so I just recorded it all separately.

Hey timish, how do you like the Concourse? I've got a good ole' KLR650 and looking to upgrade to something bigger. You do your own maintenance on it?

Hi,

I love it. It's a 2010 and I had an 05 FJR1300 before it which was also a great bike.

All the maintenance on our vehicles (6) are done by me unless its warranty or a big job like a trans rebuild or something. I've got a vehicle lift in our garage. :D

Thanks for sharing them.

Thanks! :)
Yes, I'd say its well maintained as well as I take great care of it. In fact I wouldn't call it that, its more a long the lines of paranoia so I just leave it alone most of the time and look at all its beauty from a safe distance. haha.

I'm currently working on another video of my Prelude but I'm trying to find out how to get 1080p out of FCP. I have no clue. I can get 720 but I want 1080 for this one. I'm trying to go for like a commercial feel for it. As if Honda would produce this kind of commercial or just something as close as possible. It won't be anything crazy but it'll be clean that's for sure. I'll post it once its done. I just need a few more clips.
