The song is "four in the morning" by The Youngbloods.

Haha yeah for real. New cars are becoming almost excessively safe. Luckily his is the "r-spec" track version of the Genesis which allows you to turn tcs off. I've never really been a fan of Hyundai, but I have to say, they did a damn good job on the Genesis. It's one of very few real sports cars being produced these days. Very fun to drive.

Nice vid and a perfect lot. You're lucky to have one without the concrete parking bricks.

Closest lot I have to that around here is an empty warehouse down the road. They didnt have doors yet and had some real shallow ramps up into it and me and my buddy used to slide all outside in the lot and up inside. I guess they noticed the tire marks in the building cause now they have a keycard gate and cameras pointing at the gate.

Looks fun. In fact, it even looks like good practice for controlling your vehicle in the rain. I outta try it sometime, I've had too many instances driving in the rain where I've given it just a bit too much gas and lost traction all together. Easy to control when it's dry, need a bit more practice when it's wet though.

Funny/stupid short story: I managed to spin it out in the middle of an intersection the first week i owned it. Felt like an idiot for a while after. Hasn't happened since though so that's good. Got a bit too used to owning a 5 ton hunk of chevy truck metal with tires so big you couldn't power brake it in the sand.
