Wow, I would have loved to have found a GT AWD w/ADAS with 19's... Alas, I'm in Portland, OR and there was nothing up here. CA? Nope, 95% RWD only. I picked mine up in Denver and still it had the 18's... Ugh. Did they change that for the 2019 model year? I doubt it. But I am glad I got the...

Okay, so learning time for both of us (I hope!). Mine is also an AWD, but I'm guessing you do NOT have the DriveWise package, correct? Every AWD GT I have ever seen, I discovered that KIA Marketing (in their infinite wisdom) decided go All Season Bridgestone's and 18" rims if and when the GT has...

"Tire pressure is just cool man..." Sorry, I live in a state that smokes pot, so some of that must be floating my direction... Not to digress too much, but yes, DUI's have more than doubled in the sate since it became legal. Okay, back to tire pressure. I've never had a car that has EQUAL...

Indeed. I went from Denver to Portland, and the pressure, once in portland was down quite a bit. I'm shocked by the 36/39psi for AWD front vs rear pressure. interesting...

Thanks MurlinatorR! I thought I had exhausted that menu, as when I initially move to the lane departure icon, it "seems" that's all that is there. But scrolling reveals more, such as tire pressure. Thanks! Little low on that front left! I'm getting fat! All 6'1" 190lbs of me!

Does TPMS just show up at random, when it notices a difference of 2lbs or so and alerts the driver? Or is there a way to access it via the menu system (because I sure can't find it!!!). I really want to be able to just check what the tire pressure is at when I want. I've seen it displayed on my...

For a car, debt? Right now we have zero debt. Nodda... For a car, we max around $11k for a loan. We then pay it off in about 2-3 years and save. So yah, a small car loan at like .9% (free money basically), so yah. Small debt for the car.

Wow. That's amazing. Well, your friends either: A. Have money B. Are willing to go into debt or C. All of the above. I'm guessing B, and this made sense for them. That's really cool. As for me and my family? 3 kids, with scrambling to save for college funds for all of them, along with all...

Rock on! And while you are at it, can you possibly get any closer to the TX/OK boarder?! Hopefully it doesn't get as hot as Mc Allen, TX or places further south - melt those summer tires! ; )

Okay, first of all, you shouldn't know how addictive heroin is! LOL! Secondly, I'm a cheap skate, so if it costs too much it may - at best - be a one-time B-Day gift type of a situation... But I'll keep the heroin analogy in mind! ; )

Great stuff! I've never driven on a track before, but I'm thinking about checking into some training and seeing what i can learn at PIR (Portland Int Raceway).

I'm pretty close to a Libertarian, but not quite. When others could be greatly effected by my actions - especially on the road - I draw lines. I wasn't always this way. In my youth I drove recklessly at times, and could have put others in danger, but I always justified how great a driver I was...

Racing others off a start has always seemed kinda odd to me... If a Honda accord pulls up, you're gonna win. Corolla? Uh yah. No need to even race. ON the flip side, if a Model S pulls up, you're going to lose - you know that. So again, why race to lose? I guess I don't get it. And should...

I can only think that, hey, you are reacting to what he just did. That's .5 seconds right there and forever more are going to be trailing. Not sure what the quarter miles speeds are between A4 and Stinger, but if the A4 has a slight advantage there, you were going to see some fade. Would have...
