January/February, might even push it farther back because I might be going to Fujirah in February for work. I'm going to be out of the country from Nov 22 until sometime between Dec 20 and Dec 30, so there is no reason to buy one now. I need to sell the stupid turbo/wheels, because with that + other part out money + extra pay from work, I should have between 5-8k for a down payment, and I'll probably keep $1500 of it on the side for the reflash and Greddy exhaust :D. That should be more than enough to satisfy me. Unlike the tC, which desperatly needed more power/better suspension/stickier tires/better seats, the Genesis doesn't need any of that. The only thing I can really think of getting, are some agressive wheels (I already know the perfect fitment for the car), but that won't happen until 1-2 years into ownership, when the stock 19's go bald.

Yea I know lol. I haven't been too many places though. I went to Mauritius last February, going to the Caribbean (vacation) in November, then Hawaii for a day in December, and the Federated States of Micronesia for 3 weeks for work. Might also be going to Fujirah in February, but that's still on the table. Might miss X-mas, but for an extra $3-4k and all those frequent flier miles, it'll be worth it. Who knows, maybe I'll get to spend X-mas in Hawaii when I'm on my way back lol.

INSANELY mod friendly. The cp-E intake ALONE gives more power than I/H/E/P on tC's lol.


This thread is funny. The sole intention of it was to try to persuade me away from the Genesis, and it has done nothing but persuade me into buying it, lmao. GG Konrad

Oh and I'm loving the Genesis forums/crowd. One guy posted up his custom 3" exhaust, and the tip was a giant angled fartcan. The majority of the members called him a ricer, lol.
