First of, I must explain about that last entry. I edit the text to say what I wanted and to show the popularity at 0%. The 100% change of being overthrown was an actual result I got by playing around with someone else's name. The results were me being silly and were not indicative of any other mood.

And now for something completely different. ;=3

As you may know Teri and I have been looking at houses. We're still trying to get the financing for the house we want, and that is on a day to day basis. However I did make a somewhat major purchase though, with Teri's blessing. I got a new CAR!!!

That's right the lion has traded in the old reliable black '97 Hyundai Elantra for a black 2006 Hyundai Elantra. ;=3

So sue me for not being imaginative in the selection department. :=3
The old car gave its all, and it was giving me signs that it was time to retire her, and I don't mean new rubber on the wheels. :=3

This picture shows the old car on the right and the new one on the left.


And this one shows the rear styling changes with the '97 to the left and the '06 to the right.

And, yes, my Florida Panther tag is now on the new car. :=3

What is interesting to note is that the '06's front looks very much like a small Mercedes. :=3

BTW, for those that remember all the antennas that were on the old car, possibly only one that will be put on the new car and that will be for the CB, and then possibly only for long trips.

Also the new car had only ~12 miles when I got it on Saturday, while the '97 had <175,000 miles. It is interesting to note that when I got the title, from when I paid off the '97, in 2002 the '97 only had ~66,000 miles on it. 8=0

So, the lion has a new car and the past year, and He, has been very, very good to me. :=3

Best of luck with the new car.

Hmmmm, traded it in. What a concept! I usually keep the old one, and park it somewhere.

Congrats LK! I myself traded in the old Green Taurus for a shiny, '00 Sable. Best of luck with the new Hyundai!

Interesting... but a good idea. Reliable transportation needs to be a priority after all.
