Vehicle: 2002/Hyundai/Elantra GLS
Default Hi from Europe

hey everybody,

My name is stevie, also know as steev-o.

i lived in the usa for two years to study and work. I studies International Business and Management @ Eastern kentucky University in Richmond, Kentucky.

After 1 year i bought a 2002 Chianti Red Elantra GLS to commute to work every day. Was very please with it, and started modding by building in some upgraded audio equipment (sub, amp, the works)

After the second year i had to go back home because my visa ran out.. and after a lot of debating i decided i loved my elantra too much to leave in richmond to be beaten up by some redneck or college student. So i drove her from richmond to newark New York to put her on the boat to Rotterdam.

Picked her up 1 month later in the harbour and got her registered as a dutch vehicle. Now im the proud owner of one of the few automatic GLS's in the country..and the one and only with the chianti red colour. The dealership told me that the elantra is not sold in that color in the netherlands smile.gif
