Yeah, the white on the Kia is actually a special pearl white. My truck was just a basic white that was very dull.

Congratz on the new ride, I was also thinking of getting a cheap truck for when I'm not able to use the car. And for rainy days too... **** flooding

I couldn't see this on my work computer. I was hesitant at first to buy a Kia but they have really turned around the last few years. I have no complaints so far. It is the Optima SX so it has the 2.0T.

Les Wagon.....

My other car is prolly the opposite of the '8 - all go and no show at all!

'06 Forester, upsized turbo and intercooler.

Just rebuilt the motor after a piston cracked under the extra boost, put in Wiseco forged pistons and a few Cosworth parts in key places.

Sad, but she's automatic......

A Tundra to an Optima? I understand if you had no use of having a pickup truck.

You cant go wrong with the 4.7 V8. It takes all of 4hrs to do a timing belt and water pump every 90k miles. Other then that they are bullet proof smooth engines.
