Eh, I knew it would happen eventually.

The metal barriers they put up at the entrance to the lot are way too long and way too narrow.

All of the work vehicles have some form of battle scars on them from the barriers.

Just like Lamborghini can never be Ferrari, Hyundai will never be Honda.
Agreed, My feeling is Hyundai will forge it's own way, comparing the history hyundai will make to honda's is not important.

Thanks to all for the birthday wishes.

Ellen, driving my S for the first time in a week and my order for an S2000 Honda service manual is coming in today.

And hoping that dinner at my favorite Italian place will be on them tonight, I am there once a week.

That'll be the extent of my nice.

Camaro ZL1 Nurburgring run. Driving the ring seems to have become quite the rage of late

I think would be very handy with his opinions in this thread

^ Thread also contains a post asking whether the vintage racing events are any fun. Well, duh!

I don't understand the point of the ZL1. Chevy is making it to appeal to the hardcore Camaro owners, but they made a car that is probably as fast (if not faster) than the Z06.

To me, that is ludicrous that there is a Camaro that is faster from the factory than their flagship vehicle. The Camaro has always been slotted below the Corvette.

Porsche gets it. The Boxster and Cayman S both have less power than a base 911. Porsche understands that the 911 is their flagship car.

In any case have fun test driving the Veloster. Looking forward to your review next week
