So, I went out and bought a new car today

[RetroLounge]

My old car was getting long in the tooth and starting to fall apart. Every few weeks something else needed fixing. And it was always hundreds of dollrs. Figured now was a good time before the credit rating really ends up in the toilet. Lots of finagling on price, bargaining on trade-in value, and having several friends at the dealership helped, and after getting turned down for 3 cars on an all-day saturday shopping binge because of my credit rating, not enough cash down, you're a loser, etc, they finally called me today and got me approved for a car. Not what I really wanted, book-hauling-space-wise, but really nice nonetheless.

So here it is, my 2006 Hyundai Sonata, in silvery blue, Korean in origin, built in the USA. Low mileage and with 9 years of warranty still left on it.

(pictures are not my actual car, obviously, unless the Golden Gate was moved to Milwaukee. or that other unknown bridge in the 2nd pic.)
