The Accent looks nice But a Veloster Turbo would be cool in Vitamin C. Only thing with them is they remind me of the Jonny Cash Cadillac with two doors on one side and one on the other

Lol.
The accents sport is alot of car for less than 15k drive away. I couldnt convince her to spend more. Thats ok ill spend it on mine instead lol

They don't list the sport here, just a 1.6 manual or auto and the Elite in auto with an extra 12kw. The 1.6 manual here is almost $30k.

It was earned and well deserved! And they used technology no one else could ever get to work

Thanks you, we sure are proud of them

[dales133]

Yes we bloody did!
So so happy.
If someone other than Team America won this time i realy think it would have been the beginning of the end.
Should see the Aussies back in it next time too

So after much unnecessary expense and deliberation and collection of bakerlite switch nobs and crystal cut lights on my travels....and some antique ivory Autometer gauges i started on my thunderbirds control panel.
Ive got a bunch of different nob sizes and might change the midle one to the same as the others...
