Default NEW DAILY DRIVER!!!

My CE is not my daily driver anymore! It can now enjoy the garage and only come out in nice weather! I purchased a 2002 Hyuandi Accent with 4,000 miles on it. It gets 39 mpg and has Ice cold ac! THis is nice considering I drive 90 miles per day. The gas the car saves me plus the amount my insurance on the vette went down is the same amount as the monthly payment!!!!! :D Basically a free second car, with a 5 year bumper to bumper warrenty. I am happy!

That's a pretty good deal. Once I finally got a daily driver I felt so much better about the vette getting to rest.

Congrats - well kinda I guess (It is a Hyundai).
Don't forget about your baby, though.
.. and remember that most cars here start to die from sitting, not from driving.

Before I took mine off the road, I drove it 60 miles daily - unless it rained.
I don't like free showers on the drive to work.

Pretty high mileage for a vette.
My 89 Buick is past 235k - original engine/tranny (I did replace the water pump).

:cheers:
