New Car for ME!!!

So, due to issues with the Lumina, I've been rather lax in updating my logs here. That, coupled with life, has kept me away mostly all the time for a while. I've still been tracking; just not updating.

I'm here again to say that happily, most of that is all behind me.

On Friday, 2/5/10, my wife and I pulled the trigger on a new car to replace the Lumina.



It's a bad photo (from the first snowstorm), but it's what I have at the moment. 2004 Hyundai Elantra GLS, automatic transmission. When they handed over the keys it had 94913.4 miles on the clock.

It has a few things it needs, and some things I want for it; so here's the laundry list:
  • Oil change
  • Air filter change
  • Cabin air filter change
  • ATF change
  • New plugs/wires
  • Exhaust leak at resonator
  • Rear tires replaced ASAP

Got the oil change and air filter done yesterday; I hope to get the exhaust leak done tonight. After that, tires next week, and so on when time and money permit after that.
