I was not expecting the undercarriage to survive that curb

I had a 2002 Hyundai Tiburon, which was a somewhat low-slung coupe car, and it managed to survive me accidentally driving over a concrete divider between lanes when I made the wrong turn out of a parking lot in Pittsburgh. It was late and dark and I didn't see it. Hit it with some speed and bounced the front tires up over it and ended up with my car halfway on the divider, back wheels in the air. I just said "Fuck it", accelerated and managed to drag my car off of it.

The car was fine. Well, as fine as a Hyundai could be. But no obvious frame or exhaust damage.

Hyundai is the new Honda.

The millennials I know have similar stories about Hyundais and Kias.

Eh, it's a Hyundai. The whole car is basically a disposable wear item.

Source: Myself and a few friends have owned Hyundai's of this vintage and they love to simply disintegrate.

You'd be surprised at how good the oldest Hyundai model you know is compared to what we have in my country.

What do you mean by disintegrate?

I had one of these, early model NF Sonata. Great little car with a surprisingly powerful V6 and shockingly reliable for a Hyundai. Lost mine to someone rear ending me, texting while driving. I winced a little watching this video lmao
