[SIZE=3]After a month of using the Carens on smooth roads and about 20 kms. a day, I saw three (3) wires protruding from the left front Hankook Optimo tire that came with the car.

good day to u bobi711. hope u get to remdy all those not so good things that ur new carens is making ur heart fibrillate. we were considering ur ride but tnx to the net ( with their reviews, etc) we forego of the plan. it sure is a big headache considering these things should not be for at least 4-5 years in most of the other rides. mura nga compared to others of the same variants...yun nga lang mapapa.... ka naman. wondered also why a popular car authority mag gave this carens a good overall review. hope ur piece gets to awaken people in kia of this unfair bargain. tnx for the info.

Ganda ng TSIKOT!

Mabuhay tayong lahat!

[glimpze777]

thanks .. this site really helps!

[merc2007]

With due respect, but i must say that this is so much of a hassle. when a user logged in he/she should be directed to the thread he's supposed to post comment/reply and not be redirected to announcements such as this. it troubles to again search for the thread that i was reading and intending to post.

i hope you'll consider this kind of comment in improving the site.

thank you.

In less than two weeks, we will be holding Tsikot's Grand Eyeball to celebrate our 5th year anniversary.

A highlight of the celebrations will be the First Tsikot Awards to honor, recognize and give tribute to Tsikot's illustrious, 'famous' even celebrated members who made the Tsikot experience (in other words, pagtatambay sa tsikot) quite unique, gratifying and most of all enjoyable!

Based on your suggestions and inputs, the following are the different categories for the awards:

Newbie of the Year Award - for members who have 300+ quality posts/threads/replies, no disciplinary actions given within the past twelve (12) months.

*Tsikot Loyalty Award - for the most pioneer (not necessarily the oldest) active member in the community who will be present during the awards.

*Tsikot Senior Citizen Award - for the oldest member of the community who will be present during the awards. Only members who registered before October 1, 2007 are eligible for this award. Proof of age (driver's license, birth certificate, etc) required during the awarding.

Mr & Ms Tsikot Friendship Award - the community's friendliest male and female members.

Tsikot Workshop Award - most helpful Tsikot member as far as giving car maintenance and driving tips and advice.

Most Humorous Tsikoteer Award - For the Tsikot member whose humor brightens up everybody's day by their jokes and sense of humor.

*Tsikot Shoutbox King and Queen

* Presence required during the awarding ceremonies.

For the rest of the categories, the awards will be sent via courier with their order of the TCard.

Awardees will be chosen based on the results of the following:

40% - admin and moderator panels' choice
60% - members' polling results (to be opened October 21, Sunday, 5:00 pm, nomination period closing) and to be closed October 27, Saturday, 3:00 PM)

Please post your nominees (in any or all of categories).

The Awards will highlight the Tsikot High Five Grand Eyeball program scheduled October 27.

Thank you!
