Upgrades I’ve Made to All of My Cars/Future Plans - The Story Behind Each Ride

For each vehicle, I've worked hard to personalize it over the years. I often get asked "why did you get this car or that car?" So in this post, I'm going to tell some of the stories behind my cars.

In this post, I’m going to highlight many, if not all, of the various upgrades I’ve made to each car I’ve had in my possession so far. I’ll go in chronological order of each car that was purchased. I’ll also talk some about what I have planned moving forward for each ride.

Note that I no longer have the 2018 Jeep Compass or 2013 Buick Regal Turbo. Both cars were let go of at virtually the same time for the 2022 Kia K5 I now have (the Compass was a 3-year lease I finished and turned back in, and I helped my mother pick out and make the deal on the Regal Turbo back when it was new - it was actually traded in the day I got the K5).

 

2008 Saturn Aura 

Upgrades & Improvements:

Custom chrome grille trim I installed, along with chrome door handles and exterior mirror covers.

I had to bang out some bends in my rim with a hammer after hitting a Michigan pothole! It literally tore my hubcap cover to pieces! But it was in the late fall/early winter timeframe, so I had to heat up water and pour it on the rim underneath, allowing it to heat up and be bent back into shape some.

-Tinted windows

-Rear spoiler

-Remote start

-Winter floor mats

-Full Pioneer sound system (speakers + subwoofer)

-Chrome door handles and mirror covers

-Chrome grill inserts - these have to be replaced every couple years or so due to natural wear and tear

-Amber-colored interior mood lighting for the flooring (matches the factory mood and dashboard lights)

-K&N performance air filter

-Front LED “fog lights” installed in the lower grille (twice - recently replaced)

-Sylvania ZXE headlights - meant to match the color of the LEDs in the lower grille

-Tan all-weather/half carpet winter floor mats - the “Aura” branded mats came with the car

-New tires recently

-New battery recently

-Upgraded alternator

-Repaired steel rim and chrome hub caps with chrome paint after Michigan pothole encounters

I might be forgetting some work I’ve done to this one, but the Saturn is the car I’ve had the longest (11 years and counting since high school), so it’s the one I’ve been able to give the most love to. I picked this car out with my grandfather back in high school (may he Rest In Peace…) and my mom and grandmother were there too. I originally wanted a 2011 Kia Optima Turbo or a Pontiac G6. The Aura is essentially the same car as the G6, sharing many of the same mechanicals and it’s platform.

I installed the chrome door handles, grille and mirror covers myself. I also have touched up some of the paint, installed a K&N air filter, and fixed my washer nozzles on the Saturn myself too among other tweaks, such as buying new chrome hubcaps and refurbishing them myself too. The video of me completing this work can be found on my YouTube page. I've also pasted a link below to a demo of my Pioneer sound system I had installed.

As for what I have planned next for the Aura: I intend to keep it another 11 years if possible lol! But also, I have never taken the Aura on a big road trip next, so that’s the plan for this summer as well as maybe a hot lap at a track in the future. Also, I want to install a K&N cold air intake, K&N performance oil filter, a Dynomax Race Bullet Exhaust Resonator for a slightly more aggressive sound, get another alignment/steering check, change the brakes soon (it’s about time…), and have the paint touched up professionally on the front and rear bumpers. So here’s to the roads ahead in the Saturn!

2013 Buick Regal Turbo

This vehicle was actually my mother’s car, but I helped her pick it out new and helped make the deal on it as well. I do try to give my family and friends a hand with car advice. We traded in a 2007 Buick Lucerne V8 on this Buick. I didn’t really have a chance to do any upgrades to it, as my mom said she didn’t want me to. But I did keep up with all the maintenance on it for her, detail the interior (as I do to every car myself), and touched up the paint at times and removed scratches among other routine upkeep. It was a blast to drive - way more than you’d expect for a Buick! And again, this car was traded in on the 2022 Kia K5.

 

2018 Jeep Compass

 

Upgrades & Improvements:

-Tinted windows

-Installed chrome door handles

-Installed chrome trim on lower fog light housing

-K&N performance air filter

-Black wood interior door handle trim

-Aluminum cup holder trim

-Black carpet floor mats - Jeep branded all weather floor mats came on the car as a part of the Cold Weather Package

This Jeep was a 3-year lease and I ultimately finished the lease and returned the car in favor of getting my 2022 Kia K5. When a car is leased, it’s a little more difficult to do any sort of major upgrades because the car has to be returned later if you don’t keep it, and you have to undo any major modifications you add. Therefore, I kept most of the modifications I did to this car light. I did want to black out the wheels on it, but it didn’t make sense doing this after some time. The reason I got the Jeep in the first place was to have a year-round driver that could handle Michigan’s potholes and snow.

This Compass was nice to have and great in bad weather, but it definitely needed more power for day-to-day driving. However, swapping the stock air filter out for a K&N unit did seem to improve performance very slightly and to improve my fuel economy - I was getting 28 MPG overall when I turned it back in.

2004 Oldsmobile Bravada

Upgrades & Improvements:

-Tinted windows

-Installed chrome door handles and mirror covers

-Spectre performance air filter

-New battery recently

-The engine light was on and I had this corrected - turns out it was a bad thermostat

-Grey winter all-weather floor mats

-Rustproofing and sealing for the underbody (Using Rustoleum & Flex Seal)

I got this Oldsmobile Bravada and the Kia Telluride at almost the same time a few years ago. It had 88,000 miles on it when I got it and now it has just over 95,000 miles - it was a one owner car so I’m just the 2nd owner in almost 20 years! Oldsmobile is my favorite car brand, I remember doing many book reports about them in school, writing business plans about their cars and even writing a letter to GM when I was 7 years old in an attempt to save the brand. So, I had been looking ever since I was very young to have one of the “final Oldsmobiles from 2004.” It’s quite hard to find a Final 500 Edition Oldsmobile with the Dark Cherry paint (especially one in good shape almost 20 years later...), but I’m more than happy with what I’ve got here because green Oldsmobiles are so nostalgic for me. At the time I bought it, this was the only Oldsmobile Bravada (and I believe Oldsmobile vehicle, PERIOD) within 500+ miles of my house that had less than 100,000 miles on it with one owner. It was a no brainer for me to go snatch it up fast.

Between the Bravada and my Kia K5, I noticed I actually have a hard time deciding which one I like driving more some days! I guess the nostalgia of the Olds wins me over, because my mother had a green Oldsmobile Silhouette back when I was a kid in grade school that I helped her pick out. It was one of the first cars I ever helped someone pick, besides the red Olds Achieva she had a little while before it that I went with my grandfather to pick out (I do recall we test drove a green Achieva at one point too). In fact, I was so determined for her to get that Silhouette until I drew pictures of her driving the van I recall! Fast forward to today and I can now say I have my own green Oldsmobile to have good times in.

As for the upgrades, besides what I’ve listed above, I thought I was going to have to add remote start to the car, but it already had it on there to my surprise - big thanks to the previous owner! I have to now get the driver’s heated seat fixed (only the backrest heats up), and change the alternator belt drive in it - I’m thinking this will help stop a rattle I hear at idle sometimes on the road. I also want to install a K&N performance oil filter, replace the headlights and restore the headlight housing (slight discoloration due to age), and find some more “off-road ready” tires and take it to an off-road park for a little fun. I also need to fix the driver-side rear door speaker, so I’ll likely install the powered sub from the K5 in the Bravada and get a new powered sub for the K5.

Overall, for a car that's pushing 20 years old, this Olds is "old but gold" - I don't think you can ask for a better older SUV to drive with AWD on it. If you can find a 2000's Trailblazer/Envoy/Bravada/Rainier/9-7X/Ascender with low miles that just needs mild or moderate TLC, I say consider getting one. I have no regrets.

2020 Kia Telluride

Upgrades & Improvements:

 

-Swapped the old Kia logo to the “new school” Kia logo on the front, rear and steering wheel

-Added black wheel vinyl inserts (creates a blacked out look for the rims)

-Black vinyl door handle covers

-“Telluride” center caps for each rim

-Black all weather floor mats

-Cargo net (dealer accessory)

-Wheel locks (dealer accessory)

This is another vehicle that’s a lease, so I’ve been keeping the upgrades light. But my plan is to keep the Telluride at the end of the lease, because residuals for these SUVs are insane. And it’s going to be hard to get another good deal on another new Telluride - you can still hardly even find them anywhere! If you custom order one, the waitlist is 6+ months long at times. Keeping this car beyond the lease will allow me to do more intended upgrades, such as tinting the front windows, interior mood lights, an auto-dimming rear view mirror, adding a K&N performance air filter and cold air intake, and painting the brake calipers (likely yellow). That said, I'm keeping my options open.

I got the Telluride as a gift to my mother. I promised her back in the 2nd grade I would get her a vehicle some day (it was supposed to be an Oldsmobile Silhouette, which we already had one way back in the day, or a Saturn Outlook - of course, both of those brands are long gone now). She saw this Sangria color sitting on a lot, and I knew then, being employed at Hyundai/Kia, it was time to make it happen. It’s been a great road trip vehicle, and I’m looking forward to more trips in the Telluride and maybe even some off-road excursions.

 

2022 Kia K5

 

Upgrades & Improvements:

-Interior multi-color mood lighting kit (dealer accessory)

-Mudguards (dealer accessory)

-Auto-dimming rear view interior mirror (dealer accessory)

-K5 branded trunk mat and floor mats (dealer accessories)

-Cargo net (Dealer accessory)

-Wheel locks (dealer accessory)

-Tinted windows

-Installed an Ignite Powered Subwoofer in the trunk

-Added chrome rear trunk trim and door handles

-“T-GDI”, “Special Edition”, and “AWD” badges added to the trunk and side fenders; I also added a “GT-Line” and “Special Edition badge” to the interior

-Custom black/red ClimArt all-season floor mats to match the red SynTex leather seats

-Red center rim rings for each wheel

-Red painted brake calipers

-K&N performance air filter

-Interior black wood trim installed on doors and dashboard

I haven’t had the K5 for very long, but it’s definitely the car that I’ve invested the 2nd most in already. I called Summit Place Kia in Auburn Hills and told them the exact K5 I wanted with accessories and they made it happen (and they also worked with me getting the Telluride too a few years back). Back in high school, if you recall, I said I wanted a Kia Optima. Well, I said back then that if they ever made an Optima that had red leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, AWD, and unique paint colors, I would get one. This combination wasn’t even available when I got my Jeep in 2018. Fast forward to 2021, following my time doing market and consumer research at Hyundai/Kia, the EXACT car I wanted comes to reality following my research and product suggestions I contributed at the company. I was able to go out and get a car I helped bring to reality that I envisioned back in high school! So naturally, I had to go all out with the upgrades on it.

I put “special edition” badges on my K5 (formerly called the ‘Optima’, if you didn’t know) because for 2021 when the car was first redesigned, a special package came out that included AWD, red leather, Wolf Grey paint, and the panoramic sunroof in one bundle - essentially the exact car I envisioned and suggested in my product proposals. Thus, for 2022 I added the badges to note that this was essentially that combination I purchased. I also love having a woofer in the trunk and my K&N products under the hood, so naturally those I got as well.

As for what’s next with the K5, I actually plan to keep it long-term too along with the Telluride. I’ve already taken it on some trips, such as to the Chicago Auto Show. Other upgrades I’m considering will likely have to wait until after my lease is finished, but they include adding a performance exhaust to the K5 as well as a K&N cold air intake, a JB4 tune and a Rockville subwoofer to the trunk to replace the Ignite woofer that’s there now. I’d then move the Ignite woofer to the Bravada - I’ll likely do this one sooner than later. Beyond that, I’d love to take this car to a track day as well, since it does have some solid driving dynamics.

 

Future Plans

I do have plans to add an electrified vehicle to my collection in the (HOPEFULLY not too distant) future! The cars I’ve narrowed it down to are the Chevrolet Volt and the Ford Fusion Hybrid or Energi, however I'm keeping an open mind here for a couple other vehicles, just in case. The used car market is a little wild right now, but so are gas prices and this new ride would help offset some of the fuel guzzled down by the Telluride and Bravada.

Do you have any stories behind the cars you drive? Or do you plan to modify them in any significant ways? This is a fun hobby for me - I say if you can share your passions with the world, you should.

Here’s the New Lexus RX & Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid

Toyota and Lexus are going all-in on electrified and electric SUVs.

 

2023 Lexus RX

The Lexus RX will be all new for 2023, featuring new powertrain, evolutionary styling and more. Up front, you’ll see a new spin on Lexus’ “spindle grille” design, which to me, it looks a little strange… But Lexus has proven it’s not afraid of radical looks. In addition to this, there will be a couple plug-in hybrid RX models as well as other a new AWD system called “Direct4”. The 3.5L V6 is gone, now replaced by a 2.4L inline four-cylinder engine shared with the Lexus NX. The “RX-L” longer wheelbase model is also dropped, but Lexus IS reportedly coming out with a new large 3-row SUV called the “TX”. I don’t doubt the RX will remain a best seller.

In other news and recent reveals: The 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. While pricing is unknown, for reference the standard Corolla Cross starts at $22,445. The Corolla Cross Hybrid will achieve an average of 37 MPG (which is slightly worse than the RAV4 Hybrid) and will go on sale in the late summer/early fall timeframe of this year.

2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid

Which of these electrified Toyota SUVs do you like best? For me, I like the Corolla Cross Hybrid best.

SPOTTED: Rare Rides Take 11 & New Cars

More rare and new rides for your eyes! Have you seen any cars that would qualify as "rare" or even "uncommon" lately?

Roughly a 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe with what looks to be Vogue wheels and matte paint on it. Nice!

Hyundai Elantra N - first one I've seen in the wild.

Lincoln Mark LT - every time I see one of these, I have to basically get a picture because I'm like "Lincoln really made not one, but TWO pickup trucks in my lifetime!"

Might be hard to tell, but this truck-looking vehicle off in the distance is a Dodge Rampage, only made for 1983 and 1984! I'll put a link to an article below on the Rampage.

• Rampage: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/the-story-of-the-dodge-rampage-mopar-s-forgotten-mini-truck-182638.html

This is the 2023 Cadillac Escalade V - the ESV variant. Its the first I've seen in the wild that was owned by an actual customer, and its exhaust is LOUD AND PROUD. As it should be.

Modified Jeep Gladiator

Dodge Stealth - haven't seen one of these, especially a mint one, in forever! Very 90s chic styling.

Saab 9-3 sedan

This may look like a normal Equinox, but look more closely at the little blue "TD" next to the "Equinox" lettering. This is a diesel Equinox! Very rare, along with the Chevy Cruze Diesel - both stopped production after 2019. The only similar thing more rare than this is likely a GMC Terrain Diesel.

Classic Chrysler 300! I hope Chrysler lets the modern 300 nameplate stick around for at least awhile longer (with a redesign and an electrified variant).

K5 Blazer!

The looks to be a customized 2007 Subaru Outback XT.

Here's a valuable Pontiac: the G8 GXP

Here's some prototypes of the Hummer EV SUV testing.

The 11th generation of the Ford Thunderbird was made from 2002-2005. This owner had their Thunderbird registered as a classic car since it was 20 years old, allowing them to not have to put tags on it. I'm thinking of doing the same for my Bravada when its 20 years old. But note - you have to only drive it a certain amount of miles per year to qualify.

This is most definitely the new Dodge Hornet (a.k.a. the Alfa Romeo Tonale) crossover undergoing testing. The taillights match Dodge's current design language and this was near Auburn Hills, Michigan when I got this picture. The Tonale has different rear taillights, but a similar headlight design.

The Telluride is one of the fastest selling vehicles in North America, and it routinely has some of the largest markups and lowest inventory at dealers too. I see some on roads, but not many in the grand scheme of things. This Telluride here has custom brake calipers.

This is very likely the upcoming redesigned Maserati Gran Turisimo, based on other spy shots I've seen. This was also taken near Auburn Hills.

This is the upcoming Jeep Grand Wagoneer L! There will also be a Wagoneer L to compete with the likes of the GMC Yukon XL.

First Car Show In the 2022 Kia K5!

Look at these vintage dealership signs for McDonald Cadillac GMC in Saginaw! I remember when they still sold Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles there back in the day.

Today, I rode through and briefly showed the K5 at a local car show! It was a good opportunity to see custom Firbirds, Cadillacs, low rider bikes, Camaros and a lot more. I intend to take all of my cars at some point to a show as I continue to fix them up how I want them. I’ll also be taking them on road trips. Check out local car shows in your area! We also went to the Bay City Rib Fest today as a family, which was also a good time.

Do you have a custom car? Or have you participated in a car show before?

Long live summer!

Coming In Hot – The 2023 Honda Civic Type R

A new generation of Type R is coming - Honda fans rejoice! And if you like red interiors,
you're going to be very happy.

Honda has dropped details on the 2023 Honda Civic Type R, which should delight performance enthusiasts everywhere. While details are sparce, let’s talk about some of what’s new.

We haven’t heard from Honda on what pricing or power figures will be for the new Type R, but we do know that the manual transmission and 2.0L turbo four-cylinder engine will carry over. I suspect that the engine will be more powerful, because otherwise what’s the point of releasing a new version, right? Overall, the design is less wild outside, but sportier inside, I think. On the interior, there are red seats AND red carpeting, which really reminds me of old Buicks, Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles from the 80s and early 90s for some reason… But it works here, because like I frequently mention – I’m a sucker for a red or brown interior anyways! Seats are heavily bolstered for track days and there’s a digital gauge cluster that I’m sure provides all necessary info for performance driving as well, such as boost.

Competition for the Civic Type R would include the Volkswagen Golf R, Hyundai Elantra N, and the soon-to-be-discontinued Hyundai Veloster N. Are you a Civic Type R fan? I’m interested in hearing more performance specs on this when they’re finally released.

Coming Soon - The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS

The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV will be built in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico alongside the gasoline powered Blazer.

Chevrolet has now officially unveiled the 2024 Blazer EV. It’ll ride on the Ultium platform and will have front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models. Based on first looks, I can see some design influence from GM’s other midsized Ultium EV offering, the Cadillac Lyriq – namely in the side profile. Ironically, the gas-powered crossover Blazer also now looks less appealing in my eyes after I’ve seen the Blazer EV. Though something tells me that this EV model will be just as controversial in nature as the gas model amongst diehard Chevy enthusiasts, since many will continue to say this isn’t a “real Blazer”. For many people, the word “Blazer” brings back memories of the of the K5 Blazer era - i.e., an SUV based on a body-on-frame architecture actually meant for off-roading, not a crossover. For me, I remember the S-10 Blazer of the 90s and Trailblazer of the 2000s.

History lessons aside, this new Blazer EV will offer up to 320 miles of range and an SS trim level with 557 HP. Speaking of trim levels, four will be offered: 1LT, 2LT, RS and SS. As mentioned, you can get the Blazer EV in several drive configurations – the 1LT, 2LT and RS come standard with FWD, but the RS can also be had with RWD. AWD is also offered on the 2LT and RS and depending on your choice of battery pack size, you’ll get 293 miles of estimated range out of the 2LT – the RS will be able to travel up to the aforementioned 320 miles of range depending on your configuration. GM hasn’t said what size the Blazer EV’s battery packs will be, but we know the Ultium battery packs are supplied by LG Chem. So, based on prior knowledge of GM's Ultium platform and specs, its reasonable to assume that the battery packs could be similar in size to the Lyriq. When plugged into a DC fast-charger, the Blazer can charge at up to 190 kW and gain 78 miles of range in 10 minutes.

I like how tech-focused the interior of the Blazer EV is -
and I'm also always a fan of red and brown leather.

First Day Out

Being the first electric Chevrolet to wear an SS badge, the Blazer SS can hit 60 MPH in under four seconds in Wide Open Watts mode (or “WOW” mode – just like GMC named the Hummer EV’s sporty drive mode “Watts To Freedom” or “WTF”). The Blazer EV SS will also have front Brembo brakes, but each trim level will get a unique front grille, with RS models adding a front light bar that does a “dance” whenever the car is unlocked and that doubles as a charging level indicator for when the vehicle is plugged in. Inside of the Blazer EV, there will be an 11-inch digital gauge cluster with a 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen with available factory navigation (as shown in pictures). Heated and cooled seats will be offered in upper trim levels, as well as red leather seats, which I’m ALWAYS personally a fan of. Other safety and tech features offered include automatic emergency braking, advanced parking assist, and GM’s Super Cruise highway driving system. The MyChevy app will also help you find charging station along your planned driving route, a useful touch. If that’s not cool enough for you, a Police Pursuit Vehicle Blazer EV will be released as well and will be fitted with the largest battery possible and available in RWD or dual-motor AWD.

If the flash of the SS trim is too much for you,
check out other variants of the Blazer EV.
I can't wait to see what the PPV
looks like as well.

Pricing for the Chevy Blazer EV will start at $44,995 for the 1LT trim. However, note that this trim will not arrive until Q1 2024 alongside the Police Pursuit Vehicle (PPV). You can place your reservations now for a 2LT or RS Blazer EV, which are due to arrive on dealer lots next summer 2023. The 2LT starts at $47,595 and the RS at $51,995, while the Blazer EV SS will start at $65,995 and will be released in late 2023. Also note that GM is out of EV tax credits, so unless these are renewed by the current government we have in place, getting a $7,500 rebate for your Blazer EV is out of the question (as of the time of this writing). Competition for the Chevy Blazer EV includes the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Tesla Model Y and the Kia EV6.

Are you not intrigued by the Blazer EV? I am! If this is the future of GM’s EV crossovers, then its bright because this will turn a new page for GM, showing they can produce a competitive EV while also marking a new chapter in the "Blazer" history books.

Here is the 2023 Toyota Crown - Your More “Rugged” Avalon

Say hello to the Crown, making its comeback to America as your electrified Avalon replacement.

Toyota is reviving the Crown in America as a replacement for the upscale Avalon sedan. Unlike the Avalon it’s replacing, the Crown is being marketed as more of an “SUV-ified sedan alternative” rather than an outright large semi-luxury sedan. I fully suspect this is because consumers have largely shifted away from midsize and large cars in favor of SUVs.

Also, in a change from the Avalon, the new Crown will only be offered with hybrid powertrains. The standard powertrain is a 2.5L four-cylinder with three electric motors good for 236 combined HP and an estimated 38 MPG according to Toyota. Top-trim Platinum models will have the company’s new Hybrid Max powertrain setup, also seen in the new Lexus RX, with 340 HP. Fuel economy is estimated to be 28 MPG combined in this trim. It’s also worth noting that the lower trims (XLE and Limited) will use a continuously variable transmission (CVT) while the Platinum trim will use a 6-speed automatic transmission. eAWD is standard on all trims.

The Crown's interior looks to be more luxurious than other Toyota models at first sight. Fitting, since its supposed to be an upscale replacement for the long-standing Avalon. AWD is a definite bonus as well.

In terms of tech features, the new Crown will have a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen in all trims as well as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Wireless phone charging, premium leather, and premium JBL audio will all also be offered. Standard convenience and advanced safety features include automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with lane centering, and a two-year complimentary maintenance plan.

What do you think of the Crown? I think it’s interesting nonetheless, I like it. Especially with its two-tone paint schemes - I’m guessing this will only be available on the top trim. However, I’m not sure it will move the bar very much on the “sedan vs. SUV” spectrum, as individuals who want an SUV likely want an SUV for specific utility purposes vs. a car. It’s also surprising to see Toyota dropping a legacy nameplate such as Avalon instead of attaching the word “Cross” to it like they did with the “Corolla Cross”, as Toyota rarely ever rocks the boat with a new niche product like this (a la Honda Accord Crosstour flashbacks). We’ll see how the new Crown does with shoppers when it arrives in showrooms this fall and in early 2023.
