Got to go back later in the wife's truck and get the tires they took off for me!

Do you expect this one to last longer without tires?

Came with summer performance tires....

Since it is my DD... need all-season tires.....

Got the summer tires up for sale now!

Mike let it run low on oil.

Juuuuussst kidding. It was full of oil.

Hey Mike, this time if there is special oil in the engine, make sure it is the "break in" oil instead of the "break down" oil.

The tech's at Hyundai said they do not use a "break in" oil..... so I plan on changing it at or under 1k miles!

Bought two oil filters when I was at the dealership!

My Hyundai dealerships gives FREE lifetime oil changes or FREE oil filters if you are a DYI guy ........ They tell me there is a customer that has been getting free oil changes since 1997 .....

That would not be a help to Mike. He doesn't drive the car long enough for it to need an oil change.

You are on a roll!

I'm curious having never clay barred a new car. Could you feel a lot of difference? Was the clay getting dirty?

The reason I clay bar'd it was that there seemed to be a fair amount of "stuff" that you could feel when you wiped your hand over the paint.

And yes, the clay bar kept getting dirty......

It was probably an overkill doing it... but what the heck... I was bored and felt like bonding with the new car.
