    Thats your BMW 3, Alfa Giulia, Genesis G70, etc.
    Kia Stinger GT. Almost pulled the trigger on one before scoring my new Miata instead.

    Comes in V4 and V6, RWD or AWD, similar platform to the Genesis, kickass factory warranty from Kia. Also it looks like Kia want to crank up the sales numbers on them, so sweet deals can be had. $50K gets you a loaded V6 that can easily run with BMW 3 series/Audi A4s.

      That's what I thought when I drove the Genesis. It's a "poor man's" BMW. That thing cornered and accelerated as such. I was in total surprise.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        You can get a BMW 3 series/Audi A4 for $50K, but it's gonna be barebones.

        You drop $50K on a Stinger and you're getting the 11 speaker Harman/Kardon sound system, Brembo brakes, heated/cooled leather seats, shift by wire, navigation, XM, the works.

          It might have changed, but same with Genesis, when I drove it. It was for my cousin's wedding a few years back, and bro (who is a mechanic for Hyundai) could borrow any car. He chose the Gen. I was WTeff.

              I do like the Genesis G70. I was looking at that last night. Seems like it would be a better ride than the BMW and i could get a few more bangs for my bucks.

                Work always forces me to go places I wouldn't on my own. Like the hellhole that is Orlando.

                Indianapolis is surprisingly tolerable. It's got a few cool neighborhoods.

                  I grew up going to the Mouse yearly, so I have a soft spot for Orlando (we stayed at Disney and Uber-ed to the Orange County Convention Center for the conference I went to 2 weeks ago).
                  Good to know about Indy. I'm on the fence, but I LOVE the conference and I figure it's another state to check off my list. I was hoping to dovetail it with another trip for the WCBC (World Championship BBQ Competition) in Memphis in May, but I'm not sure that's going to align.

                    It was real cold for DC in the early morning. My bike thermometer read 49 deg.

                                Good Afternoon Lodge~!

                                Washer and dryer are here but not hooked up. They aren't allowed to do that. THe dryer hose needs to be cut and they don't have tools for that either. Nice guys tho. Pouring sweat by the time they were done- it is ridiculously hot for all they said it was supposed to be cool and cloudy.
