I exist!  Yay!  Lately been pretty busy with some things going on, not the least of which is a recent acquisition

2014 Kia Rio5 EX

This is my first car, a 2014 Kia Rio5 EX.  I was surprised to find the lack of cars friendly to the slightly tall among us (I stand at 189cm or a bit over 6'2"), but this little thing manages to fit the bill.

Welcome back! Nice car.  Doesn't it have a 100,000 mile warranty?

Is it an elongated one door car, or a short two door car with tiny rear doorhandles?

Either way, congrats! Happy

Congrats!  New cars are fun.  Your first dents and scratches however, will not be.  The warranty is a very nice bonus indeed.

Kia's are great, I once had one of their mini-vans (ripped out the middle seat and sat in the back, it was a roomy limo.


I share your burden though on the tall-guys in cars thing. I am 6'2" (and what the fuck with turning you back on your metric bretheren BTW?) and also have had exactly 2 cars in which I don't feel like I am in a clown car. (Said the man who voluntarily bought a brand new Mazda Miata).

It's hard to live fast in a Kia, though.

You know what that car needs? An Enchantress sticker on the rear glass.

And a Roshling plushie inside.

Congrats, Yoda! That's a pretty sweet purchase.

Nice! Congrats! Kias are good cars, good choice.

I have a jeep, I apparently hate the environment and love sucking gas.

That's just the shadows, normal handles.
