    New Ride

    Been shopping for a car for a while. Did many, many test drives.

    We decided to pull the trigger on this one. The deal was too good to pass up.

    New 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited. The only option we didn't get was the Panorama moon roof.

    I'm actually having to read the manual. This thing has navigation, all kinds of radio choices and other stuff.

    Good Times!

    Did California still have front tags when you left? Front tags are unusual to me.

    Good that you didn't get the moon roof. If you did, you wouldn't be able to drill the hole for the VHF/UHF antenna right in the middle.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I always say if all else fails read the instructions. I see you're way ahead of me on that. Whatever happened to simplicity? Whatever happened to engineers who understood that KISS is more than a rock band? Now if you don't study up on all these newfangled widgets you're in deep shit up to your eyeballs!

    Very nice ride, Jan - it reminds me a great deal of my '09 Legacy. I picked that one up used in November and while it has the sport suspension and engine package, the dash is rather utilitarian. Thus, I'll be upgrading the instruments and installing a nav system.

    Are you planning to put any radio gear in it?

    I'm j-j-j-jealOUS! That's a very livable hybrid.

    Albi had the high powered Sonata and he loved it.

    Nice wheels.

    But what about the REST of the car? OK, I like it, even if I have to go to college to learn how to drive it.
