So I don't know how much I will actually do to my VT but I thought I'd start this anyway. I've owned a lot of cars...a lot. I mean, a lot...really. But nothing as fun (faster, but not as fun) as my first new car a 1992 Plymouth Sundance Duster.
That isn't mine in the picture, but it looked a lot like that. 5 speed, 141hp 3.0 V6 (yeah, V6 with 141hp) that I drove for almost 10 years. It was even pictured in the "Readers Rides" section of Sport Compact Car magazine WAY back in the day. Maybe some day I'll find my pictures of it. Anyways, I mentioned that ride because in a lot of ways, almost 25 years later my 2016 Veloster Turbo took me back with just one test drive. It's the first car in a long time that I want to get out and just drive. Maybe it's the manual transmission (until a recent back surgery I couldn't count on my left leg behaving enough to drive a stick) I'm not sure but I do know that my old saying "If you're not having fun you're wasting the gas" came to mind right away.
Why Red Zone? Well one of my other rides is a 2014 Kia Soul Red Zone.
It's fun in it's own way, and is my second Kia Soul. I bought it because I loved the look of the white with red accents. When I realized the R-Spec I found was white and had a red interior I knew I wanted to play around with that white/red combo again so...
2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec Red Zone is born...
The day I brought it home I removed the terrible pin stripe and started playing with some red plasti dip. I didn't think about it when I took these pics but you can see my Red Zone Soul in the background!
I've ordered a couple of things so more to come!
