If you’re asking about my car , we just call it a GT but in your world a GT2.
I think Frubin76s car is a GT1 as he does not have the brushed aluminium interior detail, am i right?

for a moment i thought you were playing desposcito in the car!

I see you finally got your Stinger. I may ask, did you got any e-mail from KIA about some presents?

I might be a little paranoiac, but I would cover the plates in the pics, the scam involving falsification was high from what I remember. Better be safe than sorry.

PS: Go easy on it for the first 1000km (according to the manual).

Explain this to me. I have always wondered why people blur their plates in pictures. I can drive down the road and take pictures of as many plates as I want to.. What am I missing?

Wooot, congratulation!

Here in México we have something called "repuve" and other similar databases, anyone with the VIN or licence plates can check the car status, and sometimes you can even check the owner address.

And trust me, having a +$45,000 USD in México in not a small feat. For reference, the minimum salary is about $4.8 USD a day. I personally earn about $16 USD a day being a teacher (public school) with a barchelor degree (it increases $30 USD a month if you have a master degree). So, anyone can check the "rich owner" info from the plates, and that anyone could not be a good guy.

Plus, in my zone (next to Texas) there are a lot of imports from the USA, and some offer illegal imports via cloned licence plates and other fake documents since the government only allows a certain number of cars imported by year.

Very smart but must ask did you request the advertising on the back or was it done without consent?


I would never allow such on my vehicle.

Dealerships often do that on cars here in the U.S. More often than not it's just on a license plate frame but I do see lots of cars with stickers like that on the back...

They do that here too on the license plate frame so I request blank frames. My query seems to appear twice - can you get rid of my duplication please?

The Kia dealer tried to put their name on my optima. I told them I don't advertise for free and it would cost them 1000.00 they didn't put it on. Haha.

They always do that, mine have it too. And it's not just a KIA thing.

Give me the car for free & I will advertise it all they want, otherwise no dealer name here either.

In Mexico we only have GT, and it is the fully loaded, so it would be the equivalent to GT2
