1. How did you get into the Hyundai scene?
I actually started by having a 2000 Hyundai Sonata and my parents bought it for me. As soon as it was paid off, my mom said it was all mine and that I could either keep it or trade it in. So I went car shopping. I drove an Eclipse, and looked at the 350z's but the salesman wouldn't come talk to me about getting one. So I said forget it and left. I looked at Chevy's and didn't see anything I wanted, no Toyota either. So I was like, "Well lets look at the used dealership by Hyundai." I got there and saw the Electric Red Tiburon on the show room floor and said, "Thats it, thats what I want!" and I didn't even drive it yet. A salesman came out to talk to me and it was like 6:50 pm and I said what time do you all close? He said 7! So I told him I will be back tomorrow I wanna drive the car they have here. Well he proceeded to ask which car and I said that red one on the show room floor. He said well lets drive it tonight, so I did. The manager at the dealership then offered to let me take it home over night. BAMB! Hellz yeah! I had all the guys looking at me and well, the next day I was approved for a loan and bought it. I have fallen in love with my car and will have her for many many years to come!

2. What has been your best accomplishment with the car?
I would have to say having my Tiburon has shown me that if I step up and have confidence in what I can do, that I can do anything. I always wanted to be in a car club but figured with a Hyundai who's gonna want me. I got myself out there and went to car shows alone. Even though I didn't win, I had a blast. Since I did that and posted car show pics up on myspace, it got me recuited for the Best Car Club in Midwest and I have now become Vice President and proud to be a part of Trinity Car Club!

3. Where do you see yourself in the immediate and long term future with the car?
Well I have lots of plans but as far as immediate I am actually focusing this winter on audio. My car club does a lot of audio and I have really gotten into it and I'm ready to show the audio world what a girl can do. I will start competing in SQ Audio next summer and I'm gonna blow everyone away. Not a lot of people can pull off good sound quality but the Tibs gonna be perfect for it. So as far as long term future, I wanna be the next Tiburon in a magazine, I wanna be known for my audio set up and great show display. I am also hoping with in 5 years from now I will be on my feet making money and ready to finish my car. OH! And to get a loan out to have a Twin Turbo'd Supra "right hand drive" imported into Canada.
