Ok well I got my 1st new car EVER last week :) I LOVE it, it's a 2005 Huyndai Elantra GT :D:D:D yep it's a Korean made but how can we go wrong w/ the GREAT warranty & gas mileage?? Heck it only had 23 miles on it WHOOHOO It's loaded w/ options, got the aftermarket sun-roof,4 whl disc brakes,sport tuned suspension(at least I have it on my car LOL) A/C,CD,leather thruought, fancy fancy fancy!!!!
Heck I'm an OLD woman & have NEVER had a new car, we decided to get me one after the head gasket went on our Chev 4x4 :(:( I drove the BIG gas hogs(suburban&chev) while Ron drives his little p/u too work, so now we should be saving some more $$ since gas is SO CHEAP HAHAHA J/K!!!!!! Hell it goes about 400 mi on a full tank now that is NEAT!! It's ALOT different getting used to a small car again though after driving trucks for 7 yrs I will say, man get on the freeway & wonder was I that rude LMAO yea probably :o

i used to work at a ford dealership good choice though. as long as you didnt buy a kia man those things suck. huyndai is making better and better cars. just make sure you keep up with the reccomended services cause if you dont they void your warrenty

Yeah I used to work @ a couple dealerships about 10yrs ago :eek2: & the huyundai's that came in were JUNK!!! Nobody ever wanted them & were pretty much POS's but they've had quite a few years to work out the bugs & what nots, my car is ranked #2 w/ the accord(I think) for customer satisfaction & dependability, plus it got 5 stars in the crash tests so I feel pretty safe!! OH yes we will definetly keep up the maintenace!!

Try feeling safe when a truck like you used to own is about to crash into you:o :eek2: I'm just playin, I like huyndai's, and the gas milage is always a plus.

Alright! congrats on the new car! Haven't seen you on here in awhile... guess you've been busy picking out the color! I see you didn't go with the color of my truck... :p

btw... I must take exception to you saying you are old... since I'm older than you, youngun! :blah:

I have an 03 almost like it with every option I could get and I love this car. Great gas mileage and never had 1 seconds trouble with it. did you get the wood trim inside? that really makes the inside look good..;)

Cool what did ya get?? Yep know what your saying about the gas!! If our Govenor would get off her *** our prices would drop .30 OVERNIGHT but she wants the $$ :mad: :mad: it's pretty damn stupid if ya ask me!!! Hell we're paying $3 or MORE a gallon I could run race gas for that price!! I haven't bought any of that in awhile so I don't know how high that is either!!!!
We still got BOTH trucks LOL, my suburban is for sale in my yard, we'lll see I'll be taking a hit on that but oh well if it doesn't sell then I guess it doesn't I know I sure wouldn't be out buying one now LOL,

Congrats!! Nothing like smelling a new car every time you get in it!!! :) My only new anything was my 2000 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab.......till my ex rolled it and totalled it....the *******. :mad: :grr:

I have an ungly little 96 metro that I drive every day to work (70 miles round trip) - my Z71 is only for weekends now.....can't afford the gas!!!

Just watch out for the crazies.....driving a little car makes you REALLY careful!!! :)

YEP definetly takes ALOT of getting used to driving such a small car especially on the freeway but it's great to play on the curvy roads :devil: LOL

So Tina are you racing FT this winter?? How's the summer racing been going?? Have you guys done any?? Haven't been on here in awhile so don't really know whats going on :) I will NOT be racing this winter :( DJ is running the 300 & his blaster hopefully the 300 is not going to be a PIA again like last year!! WE have found out to NOT lower the rear then it doesn't throw the chain :o it's VERY picky on that issue, I REALLY need new shocks cuz all 3 are blown :( but it'll work for the FT!!

I havent done alot of racing this summer ,I done Two State Series and one local MX. Troy was laid up for over a Month broken , so I felt really guilty racing,I also had to send off my axle,which took a month to get back.We are now doing my rebuild, its COMPLETLY torn down , My tranny had to be rebuilt, (again!:grr: ) and a new clutch kit, but other than that, she will be getting a facelift, Im sending my frame to Pappy soon as I get time to box it all up, plastic ect...
I am planning on FT racing again this winter, I havent done it since my wreck:ermm: should be interesting, Troy too should be racing ......... on his NEW quad ,were gonna get serious about buying one here very shortly :D

and of course, the kids will as well.... :)
