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.

 

welcome to the site, and congrats on the new ride! how do you like it??

 

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.

 

wow...very nice! do you still have a dart swinger?

 

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

 

very nice! what year and engine?

 

It's a 1973 w/ 225 slant 6.

If you want more info/pics of her, check out my website at this link

 

it looks very nice! is it restored, or orignal?

 

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!
