i should get reward points from Hyundai.
Yes, much to my father's chagrin, I bought another Hyundai. I wasn't really planning to. I test drove a Subaru – otherwise known as the state car of VT. Owning a Subie is a residence requirement here. Fortunately, I owned a Legacy wagon a few years ago, so I've paid my dues. Anyway. After a lackluster test drive, and terrible treatment from the (really old) salesman…I decided to stick to what I know & like (I won't use "love" for a car – that emotion is reserved for wine & grey's anatomy).
I went with a 2010 Santa Fe this time. It's a bit larger than my previous Tucsons – but not so big that I need to sell a child for gas money.
I like the silly options like an ipod dock, XM radio, and faaaancy "wood" detailing. Wanna know what my favorite feature is?
Bluetooth. That's right – I can push that green button, say "call Mom," and viola – I'm out of the doghouse for at least another 2 weeks. Look Ma, no hands! I mean, no hands on the phone, of course.
In other accident related news – I think I'll be heading back to the doctor this week for another look at my hand. Still painful. 🙁
In small-world + kindness accident related news – I got the sweetest card in the mail from the woman in the minivan. After connecting on FB, she messaged me to ask if my husband's name is Rob – she thought he looked familiar in my photos. Turns out, she was his sister's roommate in college. Weird!
Here's to an uneventful week. Be good!

Love the new car! Very cute.
And, love the kindness of the mini-van lady – and the connection between your families.

Very nice, I also drive a Santa Fe. I have no problems with it, it’s very robust and reliable. I am sure that I’ll be using it for a long time. By the way, Hyundai gave me a reward for buying their car, not an umbrella or a jacket, but an Iphone, hehe. I guess I’m a very valuable customer, LOL.

Like a coupon or at least a discount card, right? Hehe, we could wish. But while we wait for the big names to think over the matter, we could trade and switch models to show our loyalty. =)
