Hi everyone,
I've been stalking these forums for a little while, and finally decided to sign up.
I'm Thrais from Toronto / Canada.
Just picked up a Hyundai Touring on April 17th and I'm loving it.

My previous car was a 1998 Elantra with close to 290K on it haha.

I've put a little bit over 5300km on it since (I know! I do about 100km/day in my commute) and finally got my first oil change done.
Pics of the car will come soon!

I'm really looking forward to some mods. Right now working on a little carputer for the car.
So far all I have done is window tints (35% front and 20% rear) - and I'm quite happy with the results.

Looking forward to sharing knowledge / stories / DIY tips in the future!

Welcome Thrais, from the Sunshine Coast of Australia.
My son is with the Mississauga Fire Dep't and has just arrived home for his first visit since 2006. He doesn't like Hyundai but I hope to convert him while he's here.  :wink: :cool:
Oh. And we'll be over there in Oct/ Nov for a few weeks.

Thanks everyone,
I had no idea the car is so popular until a few month ago, when I discovered the i30.
Then I felt kind of bummed out since Hyundai does not include a hatch version or diesel options here in Canada, but hey thats usually always the case.

Pics are now up in the Petrol Pics Forum! :)
