Bueno!


Courtesy of some random web image, this is the closest I can get to photos of my new ride. '03 Hyundai Elantra.

EDIT: At first I was amused at buying a car whose make I couldn't pronounce, but... thanks, Wikipedia!
The word "hyundai" means "modernity" in Korean, and is pronounced [çʌn.dɛ]). It is often pronounced as [hʌn.de(j)] in North America, as [haɪ.ʌn.daɪ] in the United Kingdom, as [hi.jʌn.dæɪ] in Australia, and as [ɣɛɴdai] in Japan. Early American advertising for the Hyundai Excel car informed readers that the name, "rhymes with Sunday".

Thoughts: Solid, good handling, nice turn radius. Factory speakers/sound system is good but there is a TAPE DECK and no cd player. What is this Cassette Tape you speak of? Huh. Good thing I didn't toss out all my old ones. Comfy seats, good spots to rest your arms. No power locks, but an alarm (that works!) and a horn (that works!).

Overall: I'm happy with it. It ain't the latest & greatest but cars are overrated, especially when you can't get the one you want.

Name and photos to follow.

WOO!

Feeling: happy

TAPES! That could actually be very fun, in a novel way - at least for a while. Congratulations Senorita!

a tape deck is perfect if you have an ipod, because you can just get one of those cassette adapter things for $10 and not have to screw with those overpriced POS fm transmitters to play your ipod in the car. this is one big reason i am reluctant to sell my car, it has a tape deck!! hahahah

cute car tho. i hope you like it!

AH! i forgot about those. :)

i actually purchased a cord that plugs into the bottom of my ipod as well as the front auxilary spot on my stereo face. unfortunately this car didn't come with any front aux option. i'd really like to be able to play my cds so i may as well get a player that has the section. i might snag a tape adapter in the meantime (as a cheaper temporary option), lord knows i've gone through enough of those when i had my old cd player.
