In With The New

Our new Hyundai Accent

Rated at 32 mpg city and 35 mpg highway we went from small and gutless, well……we continued the theme! This is our new Hyundai, a 2006 Accent. Another 100,000-mile warranty so we are comfortable that we can drive around the block a few times before the manufacturer pretends the vehicle was never really the responsibility of their engineers. I can’t wait for the Chinese to start bringing cars into America, if they offer a 250,000-mile warranty I’ll be the first in line to buy one. I have got to tell you though, I feel mighty strange being the only white American in the United States not driving an SUV. Many a person expressed their discomfort knowing one of their own was driving a four-cylinder Korean “Wok Racer” – not my words. For me, saving 200 gallons of gas a year worth $550 is worth the small amount of humiliation I have to endure for being a treehugger; my wife being a vegetarian doesn’t help our poor public image either. Just kidding, Caroline.
