Hey Guys! I bought my accent a month ago...and still no plates? I'm in California...when do you usually get them ?

The fact is that I'm moving the 1st of September..and want to get them before I move...

The dealer when I bought it said it will get to your mail in a month but nothing yet

Thanks in advanced!

I hope we have a lot of mac users on here.... unless everyone still operates *shudders* PCs

Anyways, the new magic mouse is amazing! Toronto Eaton Centre just put them out today... overall, i find it much smoother than the mighty. The multi-touch aspect is a great feature, I just wish it had incorporated gestures similar to the macbook trackpads. But overall definitely recommend it.

Hey everyone, My roommate and I just set up a new forum called (Link Removed). Its for cars that don't have a huge following like Hyundais and things like that. Thank you all for any support that may be given.

Held once every two years the Frankfurt Auto Show IAA (Internationale Automobil Ausstellung) is the largest in the industry. If there's anything the Germans are known more for than bratwurst and beer, it's finely engineered vehicles. From Volkswagen to BMW, from Mercedes to Porsche, the German automakers take center stage at the Frankfurt Motor Show. We'll update this preview page with developing stories about which models are expected to make their world debut in Germany. Live coverage from Frankfurt starts September 15th.

More: Frankfurt Auto Show 2009 Preview on AutoGuide.com

To those of us who have them, we want them to be seen! So lets show off what we have.
I don't have a working digital camera, so I'll just post the images from other sites.



Okay, not very exciting. Now it's your turn.

Ok I have got a pet pev about people in Canada up in arms about Toyotas pedal recall saying that we should all now buy domestic cars, that import companies don't care about people. What!?!

1 - First there is no such thing as a domestic car in Canada and if you are going to base it on cars made in North America then Toyota and Honda still fall in that catagory! Both make cars in Ontario.

2 - The big three have a long list of recalls too much more serious than a pedal getting stuck in the carpet! I was watching the news about a guy upset about his new matrix and that his gas pedal was getting stuck in his carpet and he didn't feel save driving it. It made him lose his trust in Toyota (it turns out that as news develops that it is not a pedal getting stuck in the carpet but the electronic throtle control. )and he was thinking of going back to domestics to support local workers. Ummm REMOVE the floor mat!!!! PS the matrix was made in Canada!

Like all car companies they farm out certain parts to other compaines. toyota didn't make the gas pedal (I know this is no excuse). Toyota is a great company with high standards and they made a mistake and are taking full responsibilty for it.
People didn't stop buying Fords when there tires started exploding at HWY speeds did they! I think that is much more serious than this.

My new g/f was snooping on my putter a while back and this site was left up on it. She was read ing "hey V this and Hey V that" She thought you guys calling me "V" was cute now in my texts she calls me "V"

Now that the World Economic Crisis has been successfully hidden in a Paper Ponzi Scheme,

Oil will rise, now predicted to hit $300 a Barrel. Today it hit $82, a 15 Month High. The good times are gone!

Pickup trucks are big here in the states. Ford and Chevy dominate with Toyota a close third. Why doesn't Hyundai get into the mix. Honda did a few yeas ago not sure how they are fairing with the Ridgeline but I would think Hyundai would do well if they had a few trucks to offer.

I know most of you that come here aren't from the US but i would like to here your views anyways.

I just finished reading "end the fed" by Ron Paul. he mentioned money is unconstitutional in Section 1 Article 10. Which i didn't believe him for a second.... this is what is said;

"No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility."

Definition of Bills Of Credit: Bill of Credit
"A bill of credit is some sort of paper medium by which value is exchanged between the government and individuals. Money is a bill of credit, but a bill of credit need not be money. An interest-bearing certificate that was issued by Missouri, and usable in the payment of taxes, was thus ruled to be an unconstitutional bill of credit."

Now to me that pretty much says money shouldn't be used by the states period. so does that give the government the right to use money as a form of "Bill of Credit" if so states should refuse to use paper money as a form of currency from the government, and should make their own gold and silver coins, to use as currency.

Whats everyone's take on this? maybe I'm not understanding it right, and would like to see other viewpoints/takes on this.

Hello

I am looking at a set of 15x10 rims for my 32x15x11.5 bfg's.

The bfg's are on the stock 15x8's now. Any problem with going to the wider wheels? I'd like the wider wheels because I am going to go to 33's or 35's in the future and don't want to have to buy another set of rims.

Please help..

Keep sharing and reading

I just got off the phone with McGard the automotive wheel lock nut company,what a crappy company !. I bought a set of exact fit McGard locks for my Accent back in Sept. of 08 and I have just noticed that they are beginning to rust,so I call them and they told me that i must send them all back to them with proof of purchase at my cost so they can determine if they are going to replace them or not.I have not removed them since I put them on the car nor have I taken any of the tires off the car.I don't see why i should have to pay to send them back without reimbursement of the shipping cost, It's not as if I didn't pay a good bit of money to buy them in the first place. At this rate I should have just bought the cheep ones from Walmart as I did in the past, I still have them and after 6yrs all year round use they are still in new condition with no sign of rusting and they where half the cost of the McGard ones. Never again will I buy their product !!!!

Hey everyone.

I'm in the middle of writing a huge paper on Faulkner for one of my classes (its way late). Decided to take a quick study break, and thought I'd just give a shoutout to my internet car buddies.

On Friday, me and my girlfriend flew from JFK to LAX, and I'm staying with her at her house in Santa Monica until Jan 17 or so. The weather compared to upstate New York is AMAZING, and to be honest, since coming here in the summer and coming here again now, i really have fallen in love with the place.



If you guys haven't come to Cali, one great thing about it is the cars. First of all, many parts of LA, like Santa Monica are EXTREMELY affluent. AMG Mercedes and Range Rover HSE's are a dime a dozen. Same goes for Priuses (which my girlfriend drives) and Mini Coopers. BMWs and Audis are also literally all over the place (my girlfriend's dad has a 2006/7 Audi S6 V10).

Since they don't dump salt all over the roads for five months of the year here, there are WAY more older cars here. Lately I've seen a red Nissan Pulsar, a manual, in great condition; a flawless black 80's RX-7; and lots of old Nissan (datsun) Zs and even a mint Toyota Supra. My 1989 Acura Integra would love it out here.

But most importantly: I have not gone a day without seeing several Hyundai Accent hatchbacks out on the roads. Just today me and the girlfriend went to get some croissants, literally out of the house for like a half-hour, and I saw a silver GS and a black GS with some weird graphic applique. I can't wait to graduate and bring mine out here (I have yet to see another White SE in the wild).


I hope everyone's holidays are going well, everyone is safe and happy. I'm sending you guys some Cali love and just thought I'd vent about missing my Accent.

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if Hyundai uses color pictures in there "regular" service bulletins. I have seen that they do use them in campaigns, but I cannot find any "regular" service bulletins online. Just curious.

If you have any non-campaign service bulletins with pictures in a .PDF format please attach to this thread.

Thanks

Can anyone please give me step by step instructions to add a Ticker please?

you dont even have to be a fan of wrestling to enjoy these bloopers

As we all know, places across the globe are quickly making it illegal to use a hand-held phone while driving a car and Oregon will become one of these places effective January 1st, 2010. Knowing the police will be out in force on that day, I began seeking for an alternative to the earpieces. I have never been a big fan of the earpiece Bluetooth sets because it seems like every guy who thinks he's important walks around with one in his ear. But I like them even less because they're so small, I always lose them.

Enter the Parrot Mini-Kit Slim. This is a Bluetooth speakerphone that clips to your sun visor and can operate all your phone's dialing functions (including phone book entries) from the buttons and jog dial. It cost me $80 and so far, I LOVE it. Even when the car is moving, the voice command dialing picks up on the name I asked for 95% of the time and the conversation is effortless on both ends. They can hear you and you can hear them. For those with hands-free laws incoming or already in effect, I highly recommend this snazzy piece of technology.

Funny Article i was reading last night @work......
http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-odd/2...Lagoon.Bugatti/
hahaha people are so dumb!!!

Let me start off by saying I LOVED the first Transformers. I am a fanboy so I'm not siding with the stiffs in the critic world, but after months of build up and trolling tf2005.com and countless teasers and trailers it was time to finally watch the second installment of what we geeks affectionately like to call Bay-Formers.

The question everybody inevitably asks first is: "Did you like it?" The simple answer is YES, I liked the movie BUT and this is a very complicated but, I didn't like it one bit as a sequel to the first one. Yes fanboys you heard right not one iota! So before you get your angry typing hands at the ready let me explain.

First the good;

It's "Giant F@%$ing Robots!" The CGI without a doubt was nothing short of incredible and that's where the "good" ended for me.

Now for the bad;

Starting with the story, on par with the subject matter? Yes. On par with Transformers lore? Not so much. Don't get me wrong, I'm over Optimus having lips! I never really cared about those minor details, I do however have a huge problem with a iconic character like Soundwave spending the entire movie latched onto a satelite like a giant space teet! Why oh why? To add insult to injury he's voiced by "Claw" from Inspector Gadget!? It doesn't stop there, the first movie had a lot of emotion with some comedy sprinkled in, this movie was the exact opposite, besides the cliche (SPOILERS AHEAD) Death of Optimus which we all new was coming and the scenes between Sam and his parents there wasn't a whole lot there. But seriously folks, Sam going to Autobot heaven!? <---- Okay not exactly but you get my point.

Speaking of characters returning and new......why introduce "new and exciting" characters just to kill them off within minutes of intorduction? Or barely see them on screen? So much time spent on obnoxious characters like the Twins but not of Arcee or Ironhide or even Ratchet. Where was Barricade? I mean it goes on. I'm convinced there more footage lying in Bay's garage because it's atrocious the way character devolopment went down in this movie.

I couldn't take Megan Fox seriously I really tried, but I kept thinking she just stepped out of a botox clinic with every passing close-up. I wanted to slap Bay for the Twins, seriously, the people are right they're ridiculously offensive, I'd be lying if I said they didn't make me laugh but that doesn't mean I agree with the characters, I'm just juvenile that way, I laughed my **** off with "Under the Alien's scrotum", but I digress lol I'm just saying I was watching the birth of lets say it together; "Jar Jar Binks X2 of the Transformers world." nuff said yo. <----- They were that bad.

I really believe that this was rushed into production to capitalize on the first film, there is obvious signs throughout the movie that is vintage Bay rush job, example; he used the exact same scene from the first film when the Decepticons were entering the Earth's atmosphere, trust me, it's identical except the angle, also when Starscream fires his misstles at the Twins and Bumblebee etcetera in the desert scenes Bay used the same scene twice. He did this with Armageddon also which irritates me because it's lazy film making, the first movie and correct me if I'm wrong had not one repeated scene.

Even the soundtrack let me down. I listened to it by itself before watching the movie and I liked it a lot, but when used in the movie it's really lacking, with the exception of a few scenes like the forest battle I never got those goosebumps down my back like when watching the first movie. When Optimus enters the battle in the City in the frist movie and Transforms in motion while Megatron is ripping Jazz in half GOOSEBUMPS! Arrival to earth by the Autobots EPIC GOOSEBUMPS! But in ROTF I only had one semi goosebump moment and that's dissapointing.

Like I mentioned before way too much comedy.The parents were so **** funny that when It came time for their characters to have a serious moment it wasn't believable. There was tonnes of build-up to the Prime/Fallen battle which ended leaving you empty a little when it was over. Prime should have stayed dead until TF3, they could have had Rodimus become a Prime (Yes I know he's not even in the movie but he should have been), and have Optimus make a triumphant return in the 3rd. Too much story or lack there of crammed into 2 hours + which seemed way longer and unfortunately, not in a good way.

As a wonderful effects driven piece of eye candy it doesn't dissapoint. But as a sequel to the most wished for screen adaptation since LOTR it falls extremely short. Just as the scenes with Sector 7 made us roll our eyes and cringe in the first movie, Transformers 2 AS A FANBOY left a bad taste in my mouth. So, as mentioned earlier in this review, I did like TF2 but I also hated it so to that I say; Watch it, enjoy it for what it is, not what it's suppose to be. To the fanboys, let's hope they change gears for the 3rd movie beccause I don't see LOTR when I think Transformers now, I see Star Wars: Episodes 1 -3! Need I say more?

I really prefer to drive older cars, always have, never have and probably never will buy a new one. Cash for clunkers really **** me off because of the requirement to crush all the cars turned in. That's millions of parts people who drive older cars could use to keep theirs running, but then I think that is there plan. If they can't make us upgrade, they will render ours obsolete. Now today I was reading on my favorite auto site how the government is requiring a lot more new standard "safety" features. I really don't think they will be happy until the can actually control out cars themselves from a remote location. Sorry, my rant for the day.

Topics like these have taken off on other forums so I figured I would post one here and get a consensus on what everybody's musical tastes are like.

Personally, I listen to almost everything but prefer music from the '70s and '80s, mostly '80s music as I was born in '86 and hence, am too young to remember any of the hit songs from that era. Listening to them makes me feel like I'm connecting with the decade I'm from but don't remember. Example, I'm listening to Richard Marx's 1988 hit 'Endless Summer Nights' right now which is your stereotypical 1980s love song.

As for radio, my presets for the Santa Fe at home include country, classic rock, alternative, rap, contemporary, pop, and hard rock. My CD and iTunes collection is packed with less-than-mainstream older songs along with many hits.

So tell us...what do you listen to?

Looks like Mr. Spam showed up all over....check out 2G forum !

Just wanna make sure everyone's aware... There is a sidewalk sale at HF today. Some items have the lowest price I have ever seen. There is also a 20% off coupon (on a single item) that will stack with the sale prices.

Here's a link to the post on Slickdeals.

I just got a service cart with 5 draws (ballbearing slides) for 75 after tax and coupon! This thing normally goes for 150 on sale at HF.

3000 lb. aluminum racing jack for 51 after tax and coupon! Very good reviews from people who have this. Basically very functional (as long as you don't exceed the 3000 lbs) and you will NOT find anything at this price anywhere else.

Happy shopping at HF!

Well guys, I probably won't be driving for the rest of this month and possibly another 3...depending on what the judge says on August 5.

As many of you in the 3G Accent Forum know, I go to school 65 miles away from my house. To get there, I take I-90 East. For the past couple of years, there has been a lot of road construction on I-90 in the Rockford area because they have this crazy expensive project of putting in a new ramp and adding a 3rd lane for 11 miles, into Wisconsin. The project is scheduled to be completed by Fall 2009, which I know is not possible by the looks of things.

For 3 years I have been taking this route to get to school. In those 3 years, I've wrecked my car, replaced the damages, had a semi tire blow up next to me and destroy my brand new bumper...and he didn't stop, and many more things, but I have NEVER in my life been pulled over for anything....until 9:30 yesterday morning.

I had just gotten onto the interstate and was on it a good 2 miles. The construction zone starts at the state border, I believe and ends just before Belvidere, IL. From where I enter the interstate, I'm in construction zones for about 14 miles. The speed limit is 45mph. It's marked everywhere! Does anyone obey those signs? Certainly not. Do I obey those signs? Heck no! I follow the flow of traffic, but not anymore. Everyone around me at the time was doing between 75-80mph. I know, crazy fast for a construction zone. Then everyone scattered like cockroaches when you switch the lights on. I didn't understand what was happening until I saw the state police officer on a motorcycle just ahead.

I knew I was screwed. There is no shoulder to pull off on, it's concrete wall, lane, lane, guard rail. So I had to drive another mile or so to get to the nearest ramp where I pulled to the side. This officer was a real piece of work. He says he clocked me at 77mph, told me my insurance was expired, which it's not! The card says it expires today, July 3, 2009. I had to wave him down to explain that to him. I said,"Sir, my insurance doesn't expire until the 3rd." He said,"I know, which is today!" I then replied,"Today is the 2nd sir!" He just stared at me. I've never said "sir" so many times in my life.

All is said and done, he gave me a speeding ticket for $105, my court date is scheduled for August 5th, which the judge will decide whether or not to slap me with the $375 fine for speeding in said construction zone, PLUS additional court fees. My stepdad is a truck driver, he told another state trooper about my situation and said I was lucky. He could have got me for reckless driving, reckless endangerment, towed my car and thrown me in jail!

In the afternoon, my mom found out that 300 people had to attend court July 1st for speeding in the same zone I got pulled over in. 300!!! They needed 2 judges to get everyone in. Just about everyone was slapped with fines. They are really crackin' down in this particular zone. They've put up cameras, have aerial survailance, cameras in trucks and vans....it's horrible. I could face up to $2000 and 3 month suspended license, but since this is my first offense they may go easy, or they could be pr*cks...who knows. Needless to say, I was late for class this morning.

Drive carefully ya'll.

Hello my friends in Canada. I am going to be in London, ON on Sunday Sept 13, 2009, I would like to know if the American football game between Chicago and Green Bay will be on NBC at around 7:20pm CST. Does Canada even get any US television? I really do not know.

AL

Why is it that, when we visit the USA, everyone expects a tip?

You know how you have to wait hours for a tow truck?

Well my brother came in from Allentown last night and went to a party. He calls me at 11:45 saying he has a flat tire. I told him to call roadside assistance and he called my dad too. My brother knows nothing about cars, so he couldn't change it. My dad and I wound up going but it was pouring out so we didn't bothering changing it. He was also in a bad neighborhood. Roadside told him 35 minutes and they got there in 30 minutes, not only that but 3 tow trucks showed up! They had it changed in 5 minutes.

My suspicions were correct, he hit a pothole and bent the rim. Hyundai roadside assitance is excellent!

Just watched the Michael Vick interview on 60 Minutes. This guy should be licking the streets of Philly clean as opposed to being paid to play football. No better yet, he should be licking the streets of Green Bay....in winter.

My thoughts.

Hello all, anyone here ride? I'm currently on an 09 GSX-R 750, blue and white, full Akrapovic racing exhaust system, K&N air and oil filters, fender eliminator, removed mirrors, and a 190 rear wheel.

Wow, looks like I missed alot in the last 2 1/2 weeks. I am back in Las Vegas. Finally moved back to the desert. The wife got tired of the big city of Chicago. That and we moved back to help take care of my sick parent's. But that is besides the point. If anyone is out west and wants to go on some drives through the mountain or desert roads, please feel free to hit me up. I know alot of bad *** places to go. There are to many posts to try to catch up and post to all of them. I will try to keep up with everything now, lol.

just came on to see if anyone is going to Road America for the ALMS races this weekend...my son and I are going for friday practice, with a full day of action from P1, P2, GT1, GT2 and GT3 classes...Formula BMW, Jetta TDI cup, Speed World Challenge, and go kart rentals available all day on RA's infield go-kart track!!! I can't go saturday, because Hyundai invited me to drive the Genesis Coupe at the Autobahn country club in Joliet, Illinois... did anyone else get the invite to drive the genesis coupe?? the next stops are in St Louis, Phoenix and Los Angeles....
