Congrats man! I got my G about 2 weeks ago and I feel the same way. If I park anywhere, I always walk backwards just staring at it. Nice color too!

1st i want to say welcome to the G community! 2nd i love legends. I still think they are awesome cars, but the G is better. RWD is different from the FWD so i know what you mean. I also came from a Acura (Vigor).

Yes there is. You just go to the bottom of the forms and there is a Region section. Click on the northern Cali and find what close to you. but here is a link.

I feel sorry for people who've never driven RWD, which seems to be more and more common. I've never owned a FWD car, and everytime I have to rent a car I almost curl up into the fetal position at the thought of having to drive such an uninspiring method of transportation. Just last week I saw some poor kid doing a FWD burnout around a corner in an old Integra and I was overcome with pity for him.

The biggest tip with RWD if you've never driven one before is "steer towards the rear". When a FWD car loses traction, the driver should continue to turn in the intended direction of travel. With RWD, the driver should correct/control the slide/drift (or more correctly "oversteer") by turning the wheel in the same direction the back of the car is yawing towards. Be smooth with corrections, otherwise you'll find yourself correcting too much one way, inducing a drift in the opposite direction that will require correction.

Congratulations for your new car!

CONGRATULATIONS BRO and welcome to the G family. Love your color choice. you made a great decision. I was torn between the G or genesis coupe. I was more into the genesis coupe until a friend introduce me to the G. I couldn't get my eyes off it after that. Don't catch the bug mod thats all I can recommend its addicting.
