New car!

So if I've been a little quiet as of late, it's because my weekends have been spent car shopping rather than blogging. While there were some perks to car shopping (i.e. driving cool cars), there was also the drudgery of fending off voracious car salesmen.

But in the end we ended up with a nice new sexy car. Welcome to the new family vehicle!


Now if only we didn't have a lingering suspicion that the car salesman will be telling all his co-workers about the gay couple that just bought a car together ...

Very nice. So what made you choose this model?

Woot for a Hyundai! Back in 2006 I bought the model below yours. It was the first car *I* ever bought and I wanted something that was a commuter car. In retrospect I wish I had spent more to get your model because its a step up. But I love the 10yr 100000 mile warrenty!

Damn the car salesmen!

SCHWEET! it does look quite sexy! and so what if that salesman tells all the folks about the gay couple. at least he'll be telling them about that really CUTE gay couple ;)

LOL D.J. Exactly what I thought.

So when do I get to see/ride this beauty.

I am so happy because I will get to see/ride in the car before everyone who has commented so far. :P

Excuse me, I am a grad student. It takes very little to make my day. Even if it is simply a ride in a new car. God, I need to get out of here!

Breten, we chose this car because it 1) is not expensive (we're still not making thaaaat much), 2) long warranty, 3) good gas mileage, and 4) felt like it was "our age". For instance, the Prius just felt a bit too old for us ... like we'd have to be in our thirties.

Pomo, thanks for backing us up. This is our first new car and we were daunted by the task but excited now that it's over!

DJ, I have a feeling that he won't be saying we were a "cute" couple ... probably some other choice demeaning phrase. After all, you should hear some of the other things he was saying ...

And Selly, you can have the first non-(Topher&Jonas) ride in the car. Especially if it makes your day :-)
