    To expect a two door to "replace" a four door is some of the more moronic decisions Ford has done. The removal of "cars" from the offerings for only SUV/Truck platforms is another.

    I have kids so while in the future my Fusion will give way to a Mustang (as long as three pedals are offered), I need four door access. I had planned on getting a Focus RS/ST to replace it but it probably wont exist. And while I have the Fusion tuned..etc. A FWD isnt nearly as fun as a RWD with a row your own.

    To keep my post on topic I have set up all my stuff (got my 25' delivered this week) setup to do the strip and WG my Rav this weekend. My Fusion went well enough that I think I can do my Rav with less mistakes! *knocks on wood*

    I did my tour with a 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited with the ThetaII motor. I am not overly anxious to look at that nameplate at this time.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Hyundai recall 132 and 168. Replaced a transmission due to a cracked case. Ate tires because of issues with control arms wearing out constantly (replaced three right hand ones during owndership). Clockspring issues. Premature wear on interior (didn't age well). Had to replace the rear camera due to no gasket and environment intrusion. Interior door handles broke. Transmission temp harness needed replaced due to erratic shifting (slamming into gear due to bad sensor input/reading).

    So yeah, I am not enthusiastic about Hyundai...LOL. I was lucky as my motor "lasted" (until trade in with 121K miles). But it drank a quart of oil every 800ish miles. Replaced it with a Rav4h.

    I hope you don't either. Or if you do, you have a good service department at your dealership of preference. I had so many issues with mine it just compounded my headaches with the vehicle. When the trans was replaced they didn't even bother to align it. Pulled out of the garage...onto the street and it pulled WAY hard to the left. Drove back and they said "looks fine". I made the service manager DRIVE it with me. His comment pulling onto the road? "Oh s#(@#....!"

    Awesome!

    I think DG AquaWax is a forgotten gem nowadays. I love it.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    I’ve pretty much stuck with the “old” tried and true products. It’s cheap and available.
