Day-by-Day Review: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT; Day 3
So the Genesis Coupe isn't the most practical sports car around, says James, but what really matters here is how the car drives. And it's in that department that this car really shines, he says.

(Un?)-fortunately, the "Glide" car wash systems are only in Ontario, according to the map. Sad   As a result, it looks like I won't be trying them out for size (quite literally given the height of my vehicle) anytime soon.


Until then, I have my choice of a few hand car wash places to use.

Finally had time to take the car in for some estimates.

The first place I took it to today the estimate was for $3400.00 and they need it for two weeks! Shocked

Needless to say, I'm speachless.

Going out this afternoon for a couple more estimates.

Just curious with one you used. Mississauga Road and 407?

You got lucky the whole head office was nearby.

How much time does estimate #2 and #3 require to hang on to your car?

OUCH.  At least they're going to cover it for you.  That's a nice set of wheels you've got.

I dropped the RX-8 off at the body shop this AM. I suspect that they will have it the better part of two weeks. In the mean time, I have a new traveling companion.

How's the Outlander?   You can have a Mitsu meet with Bob.   It would be outlandish.   Cheesy
