The Skyway is fun, but is certainly a little more scenic than the Dragon. It's nowhere near as bad as the BRP for gawkers and sight-seers, though. If you're headed to Deals Gap, you might as well...

I'm sorry - they just sold this past weekend. Not sure if they'll clear the ATS swap, I do have a buddy running the Apex Arc-8 that clears it.

Mods - please mark as sold.

As soon as I ordered wider wheels, this was my first mod. They look very subtle, but do a great job of keeping stone chips off the car.

At the strip, you'll lose pretty handily - he'd have to miss a shift or two for you to win. The...

Fair enough on the reuse from fun coupe concept to production sedan, but the rest of Kia's names are so bland (Optima, Sportage, Cadenza, etc). This one at least has a little flair.
