I finally showed my parents the sportcar I've been hiding from them! « on: August 30, 2023, 02:33:08 AM » Author: suzukir122
After owning it since 2021, (due to learning how to drive a manual, and also the recent flat tire situation) I finally got around to showing my parents my sportcar, which was the primary reason why I kept pics of it away from social media. Even though it's from Hyundai...  ... it is still one of my favorite cars of all time. My brother took a video of me leaving my parents place with the car. Although neither of us liked the audio of that video, I REALLY didn't like the fact that he cut out my mom's reaction as I was leaving, so I told him to reupload the video. There is some additional editing I'll probably do to the video once I download it... after that, I'll post the video here. Now it's fair game... I can officially start posting to social media much more... not just of the car, but also my motorcycle, and also general filming. This might... MIGHT... include face reveal.

Cheers, suzukir122 on learning how to use the manual transmission I have been driving manual since my late maternal grandfather and my late father taught me how to drive with the stick-shift.  Now that I getting old (with my recent left hip surgery) and wanted to shift over to automatic transmission instead

I prefer automatic transmission for long distance driving, but manual transmission is far, far more fun than automatic transmission in my opinion. I feel more in control as well with manual transmission. It's also definitely faster, it seems like. My manual transmission sportcar is turboed though, but even with the non turboed cars, they seem faster than automatic... at least when it comes to 4 cylinder cars. Totally different story with V8's.

My brother put together a short video of my visit to my parents place, on his YouTube channel. If anyone watches this video, you'll get a very slight face reveal... of me in my car, smiling from ear to ear, which is honestly very rare. Especially on video. Although I'm not happy with the video quality, and although this audio sucks, here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYAmSMHFZZg Yes I know the car is missing it's exhaust tips. I'll be working on installing a complete aftermarket exhaust for it sometime soon. Also a quick side note... the lady in the background talking/laughing is my mom. lol... her comment at the end of the video surprised me, since she's normally the kind of person to criticize just about everything.
