I'm having a grand time with the new car. Can't get enough of the satellite radio. Don't even know what half the buttons on the dash are for. The thing drives like a dream (there's nothing like a brand-new car) and we've only been to the gas station once since it arrived.
Aaaaaaannnnd it's the envy of the workplace. I rarely have something to be proud of (probably a good thing) but this car has upped my status in life, at least at work. There have been several 'showings' and promises of a test drive (I need to get an inspection sticker before the test drives). And suddenly everyone at work wants a new Hyundai.
My cars always have a name. We named this one "Bruce" for a couple of reasons. Bruce is the shark in "Finding Nemo" (a favorite movie), and the satellite radio has a shark-fin sort of antenna. Plus, the car is sort of the blue-ish color of that character. And I think of Bruce (in "Nemo") when he loses control and tries to get at Nemo and Dori. Reminds me of my own road rage as I try to get to work in the morning, most days.
Ahhh, Bruce. The new love of my life (until something better comes along). I feel like a kid with a new toy.

XM rules. Virtually unlimited selection, genres for everyone, how did I ever live without it?
Brilliant choice on the new Sonata. I saw one of those cruising around lately and it had me drooling. Maybe it was yours!
I've never used XM. I'm sure I will one of these days, but I'm just not the stereotypical tech geek. I don't have a PDA or a Blackberry, don't own an IPOD, practically never listen to MP3s and my cell phone is just a cell phone, no camera, etc.
Hey Jeremy, now that XM and Sirius are going to merge, do you think that we'll have even more choices? Or will it just cost more? Will I pay the price (of course I will)...
My new Sonata is lovely. If the one that you saw was 'medium silver blue' and had a fat lady in the driver's seat, it was mine.
