Just wanted to say WAZZUP! Been overseas for 3 years doing my Army thing and finishing up my 8 year career. Now that I'm unemployed I will be able to stop in more often. . . at least until the internet bill isn't paid. LOL Good thing my wife makes all the money! Lil_Tiby for the old members wink1.gif. SO if any noobs are around hello, otherwise I hope all you remaining members are still doing well.

I am here to support the "RD" community though our Tib has been in a garage for oh 4 years in my dads place and doesn't run ATM. Just can't seem to get the desired money to want to spend it on the last of the hood work and paint the bad boy. I will say our 00' is grea but honestly once we had the interior fiberglass and speakers and tv's and kit etc etc. . she looks great just no longer fun to drive. But she will be complete one day. Probably before the junk heap. smile.gif

I see we are moving/merging. Due to staff support and the sense that communities to specific non classic cars do die off I am behind it, but I'm really going to miss RDTiburon as the name cuz Hyundai Aftermarket is seriously just a DUMB name and wouldn't put that crap on my car. Of course if it's not an RD it's not a good looking body in the first place. Just being the controversial opinionated me. I hope we can still find away to rock RDT on things like shirts etc. My daughter loves her car shirt when we can all wear them. I think we are only missing a year or two and of course my wife always rocks the new thong for a great avatar when she gets them.

See you on the forums. Happy forth!!

DC

wow man, welcome back! It's been a long time.

First, thank you for your service. We all appreciate it.

Second, while you may think it's a "dumb" name, it's been around longer than RDT. The only thing that's changing is the URL - we're merging communities, we'll have the same members (just adding a few) and the same appearance, just more forum topics. We can still have shirts made, and I'm sure Phorq would be willing to donate the time to create a design for us.

Welcome back mang

Let's not get crazy here Visionz, straight and to the point yes. It does it's job. I know it's been around longer and even been a member BUT beings that I've run through car club in D.C. for the past 12 or so years I have this small exclusive group mentality that we like Originality, personality, and something with some pop (Crooked H is brilliant). I like flash and go and pizazz. HA works. . . but I care less for SOCAL clubs looking for a blanketed forums that cover all. . . . I don't have much to talk about with an Elantra owner or find much info I care to have to sort through if you drive a Santa fe. If it weren't for an RD I really wouldn't be here as I can get more support from mass local car clubs getting together. . . though Neon Owners blow. wink1.gif Yes I know there are couple of you here. And I think I like the RD because I'm a TOYOTA FREAK and have an All Trac Celica that oh the RD took it's body styling from. smile.gif And it was my wife's before I met here, I've never stepped foot onto a Hyundai lot yet defend them constantly so for her purchase I am thankful I accidently learned about an underrated car company, but let's go FT-86.

Though the Genesis is quite a push in the right direction! wink1.gif But I forget my dad did own a great platform car for it's day in the entry market Excel . . . 300k and still got 4 grand trade in. The guy was amazed the thing had that many miles.

Thanks for the WB's. Post number #2. Start the counter. . . let's see Redz minus 2 carry the one. . . oh hell it's not going to happen.

You claim to be old skool and yet you post with runon sentences which don't really make sense. Old skool is not a member number. Knowledge goes out of date. Elantras are the same car with a different suspension and body. There is no need to defend Hyundai.

The excels were worth about 4k new.

So you see my point on the Excel. Thanks, it ran like a champ all hatchbackie and blue with the red stripe. DTN I remember when you car was straight pieced, and don't come around here knocking useless info (elentras same car, gee thanks must be infantry army boy (joke don't get butt hurt)). I've always spoke in Run-ons in case you forgot who I was. Got a problem don't respond I don't care. I tear up what I drive, if it goes I run it like I stole it till it breaks, there is always another one waiting to be pushed past it's limit. My dad's Boxster. . . that thing gets punished, but so do my Toyotas and Acura and Mazda. I didn't even know my member number thanks I just learned. You run around here where the cars clubs run Euro sports and high end daddy rides and you'll get a knock or two on owning a Hyundai. I just think they get a bad rap over the years from people who never owned one.

Hey Redz good to see ya.
