I don't trust the techs at Ken Garff much more than I would the techs at a high end body shop. But then again, there probably aren't any real high end body shops to take the Evo to... I took mine to the Ken Garff body shop when it got broken into. And they did a good job, except the tint they put in was not the same kind of tint (my fault for not making them put the exact same tint in).Originally Posted by importslut
we went with ken garff, because its close, and the techs can check everything mechanically as well, not just the body work. as of now the techs are going to pull my car apart and check for any other damage that my insurance adjuster might have missed.
Anyway, make sure you're a ***** to everyone you need to be. This is one of those few times where it is okay to be an *******

so i think my insurance company is trying to **** me over. they keep telling me my evo is worth 20,000 and with the mileage on my 03 the highest values my father and I have found is right around 19,000. So im thinking they want to say the values higher so they can pay 13k for repair instead of 19k to pay for the car. wtf should i do?

They are going to blend your paint and however they do it works because my car doesn't look 2toned...just make sure you've got it at a body shop your comfortable with and when the cars done if you don't approve of anything then just say so 
EvoM is laggy as hell today

I HAD A BLACK OBSIDIAN PEARL SUBARU GET THE BACK END REPAINTED BY KEN GARFF AND I COULDNT SEE ANY DIFFERENCE IN IT, AND THAT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE A COMPLICATED PAINT TO MATCH.
ERIC, I FEEL FOR YOU ON THE INSURANCE.
IF THEY END UP FIXING IT, HOPEFULLY YOUR CAR WILL STILL BE OK.

Genesis coupe is out already?! And it looks like Ken Garff Hyundai downtown should have one on their lot. Totally going to look at it after work. I wanna see how they look in person. (And no, I won't be buying one, RWD = no good).

Ryan, got another legal question here for you because a guy at work started arguing with me about it. It is a much shorter story than that lady.... 
Guy is following behind another car. From what I know of this guy (he's a co-worker) he is not likely to be following too close (but I don't know what defines following close, and how they determine that). Anyway, lady spins out of control on black ice and he slams into her from the rear. Guy at work says that this other guy is going to be at fault for sure for following too close... But don't they have to prove that it was because of him following too close that she got hit? Plus... isn't it her fault she was speeding for conditions? The guy here says that if you are hit in the rear, it is the other person's fault for following too close every time. Just like it is (supposedly) your fault every time no matter what if you are turning and you hit someone who is going straight, even if they were breaking the law (speeding, ran a red light, etc) and only is their fault if you can prove that they ran a red light (but otherwise your fault, even if they were speeding or otherwise driving poorly).
I know that most of the time a rear collision will be the driver from behind's fault. But it is really ALWAYS their fault? From what I have found you really can slam your brakes completely random and if a person behind you hits you, it is their fault because they should have been following far enough away to avoid you. Would you get a ticket for that at least though?
I was thinking that the person in front could be at fault in a few cases, just because a cop yelled and screamed at me for stopping too fast that caused him to very nearly hit me. Apparently I should've yelled and screamed at him!
Also, from what I've read, I can't figure out what condones "following too close" for them pulling you over and ticketing you for following too close without an accident. Any ideas there?

I like how you can get the 2.0l T as the Base model since I don't want a GT V6

I wouldn't mind looking at one in person too. + If you lose your Job Hyundai will take it back
Sound to good to be true
Plus 10 year/100,000 mile warranty! That, as of the past years, has been covered with no questions, but that was before this car...Originally Posted by Evolution IVGSR

And on top of all that, Buschur is getting one (Jrod is personally buying one) so they should have sick stuff coming out.

I never thought that i would be a hyundai fan, but the genesis has converted me. Awsome horsepower and ride for not alot of money.
. It would be cool to have an all wheel drive version though.

hey joey any updates on my tincan? lol

Thanks Eric, I never would've found that on my own 

Plus, that's Hyundai's site for it, you don't want that anyway, it's like every other car site "This car is God!"
You want this that... basically says the car is God.
I want a road test of the 2.0l turbo with the track package though. Should be lighter weight up front which should help skidpad #s.
