• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

The KIA Telluride in Everlasting Silver

🤖 AI Summary

I'll have to see how the family gets in/out to see if we want the boards. But I am still floored by the car! I was worried that the payoff for the anticipation wasn't going to live up to the hype, but I am happy to say that the hype is real and worth it! Love it!!
I know what you mean. I just took her for a long road trip, putting over 1100 miles. It was so impressive. I had to see how she handled at high speeds and I must say I was impressed how she drove, even after topping 100 mph. The HDA works as advertised. Set it to 77 mph in a 70 zone and she did the driving all by herself. Still loving my Telluride 4 months later.
 
We have ours since oct 2019. We have put 21,000 miles, and drove from NJ to Florida twice. We still love this car, and the color! It was not the color we set out to get, but once we saw it we were sold. Its a great car to drive on the highway. The cruise control makes driving long distances enjoyable. It’s just hubbie and I now, but so happy we have this and an alternate to our 328i convertable

That's the feature that I am very interested in trying, the HDA... Looking forward to cruising!!
 
Thanks, I just don't have the sweet running boards like yours!
Running boards are cool if you need them, but Telly looks great with or without them :)

@Frankie Knuckles: I haven't received a speeding ticket, or any moving violation, in decades. Three months with Telly and I have 2 :ROFLMAO:

Telly drives so fast, so smooth, so easy, it's hard to believe I'm allegedly going 70+ in a 55 on the PCH just past the County Line.

...or 83 in a 65 just past the Fairfield to Suisun interchange.

Hahah, get some of that cold bracing air and take 10 slow deep breaths.

Just go with it.

I didn't wash my Telly until after a month.

I almost didn't want to touch anything until the time was right.

I still leave my Telly dirty for a lot of time and it still looks good.

Camarillo gets dusty from the fields and the Santa Ana winds and driving up to see my family in NorCal once in a while.

As long as the front windshield, rear window on the lift-gate, rear-view mirrors, and headlight/foglamp covers get a quick wipe at every fill-up at the gas station, I'm good. I also shine up the Kia badges to let every badge snob know that "Yes, it's a Kia. Deal with it" ;)

It is a big, bold, boxy mid-sized SUV, category winner twice in a row, right?

Wide lines, masculine stance, finally a great looking Front-End on a car that we actually like, right?

This is why we chose this amazing vehicle over the others, right?

Dirt looks good on the sides of Dark Moss and it should also look good on Everlasting Silver.

I specifically didn't get the mud guards so that I can get a little dirt on her sides :)

Enjoy your dirty Telly and when you finally hose her down and get some bubbles going, it's almost like a long-awaited vacation.

So relaxing to wash one's car.

Even more relaxing than washing the dishes or chopping wood or whatever.

It's such a release when you finally clean her and see the results. Endorphins maybe? :)
 
Oops somebody delete this for me 🤦‍♂️
 
Just hand washed and applied ceramic spray.IMG_20210305_151429.webpIMG_20210305_151440.webpIMG_20210305_151434.webpIMG_20210305_151444.webp
 
I really like the ES color with NF package - nice combo.
Trying to find that best matching interior color ... black?
