Great looking car, yeah unfortunately the S5 Sport back is a hot seller an Audi won't give any incentives on them and many are being marked up along with crappy lease deals.

Given the discounts, I'd hazard a guess and say, probably not as well as they'd want.

Rumor is that the Stinger May get the axe, so I would expect the G70 to go as well.

I'm not so sure about that, while there's a decent number of them on the lots, they actually accounted for doubling Genesis US based sales in 2019 and where the face lift Stinger has been seen in testing relatively rarely, the face lift G70 is well underway in testing.

At least up until now, Hyundai has seemed pretty determined to stay the course with Genesis, knowing it will take time to build a customer base. I'd expect at least 1 face lift and a Mk 2 before they'd consider axing it.

Getting an independent dealer network fully up and running will probably help too.

Genesis will step up their game with the GV80 luxury SUV as well.

Yeah, that one is perdy, upcoming GV70 is looking like a really strong X3 contender too.

I wish they'd do a wagon of the G80 (a shooting brake GV70 has been seen testing for the euro market, but unlikely to come stateside). If they end up doing similar discounts on the next gen G80 at some point, I may just have to upgrade, that thing is next level.

My most recent purchase.



Our KitchenAid artisan couldn't really keep up with multiple loaf doughs without trying to knead it out of the bowl or vibrate it's way onto the floor, so used our Prime CC reward points on this mixer, looking forward to trying it out.

Yard Force MC1800 pressure washer ... couldn't pass it up for $88 on w00t.

will replace a Karcher for car washing and light duty stuff (have a Ryobi/Honda gas monster for the concrete driveway/deck/where more power is needed)

the hose and electrical cord were my main gripes about the Karcher - PITA to deal with the hose and cord - like trying to corral a herd of cats.

this thing has reels for both. main handle and side handles fold down for less space-taking, too.

Holy ****!
Why are those reels not standard mandatory for all pressure washers?!
I hate dealing with the water line on mine. First world problem, I know, but still...

i spent more time wrangling the hose and power cord than i did actually washing the car.

no more - used it today, reeled everything in quickly and easily. was very satisfying

Looks like Italian parsley.

Good luck stopping it from growing.

Lol I hope it'll grow prolifically, we use a bit of it frequently.

I do appreciate the humor. The truck was a hand me down when the inlaws moved to Texas. I've never felt the need to own a truck, but this old beater has come in handy.

Nah, it's perfect for intended use. Just had to poke some fun. Looks to be in great shape for a beater.

You should save the box and just drive it around all the time like that.
