When people come up to you and ask you what kind of car is it that you drive, do you tell them its a Hyundai ..... or just the model, or just the make? I used to tell people it was an Elantra but no one knew what it was until I started saying a Hyundai Elantra. Funny how that works sometimes.

Try driving one of these:







Even after I tell them what it is they still have no idea. I guess when they only imported 800 and when there are fewer than 130 left today, it's expected. It's even funnier when someone asks me at a red light, then try's to race me when the light turns green. They get an awful surprise :biggrin:
