Hello all,
I would like to take just a moment to introduce myself and my ride. I'm in the Army stationed in Alaska. Gas prices got to high for my blood, so I had to get rid of my former vehicle, a 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 V10(gas hog). My solution, a brand new 2005 Hyundai Elantra GT hatchback w/auto trans.

I'm loving it so far. Thanks for asking. I've had it for just over a month and have already put over 1200 miles(100% of which are city miles) on her.

Oh yeah, she's sitting at my parent's house waiting on me to go home on leave from Alaska.

Thanks, it's a little of both. The body was repainted by the previous owner, the interior is original, and the motor was just rebuilt to factory. It's still a work in progress. Next on the list are new wiring harnesses, battery cables, carb, intake/exhaust manifold(it's mostly one piece on the slant sixes), new carpet, and new seat covers. Unfortunately, I don't have it with me here in AK. I left it with my parents back home in Texas for me to drive and work on when I'm home.

A month and only 1200 miles? We bought my girlfriend's car three weeks ago, and it has 2200 miles on it now. Dang, we drive a lot!
