Default Sad day-farewell CL

Hated to see her go, but continuing events led me to pull the trigger on a trade (09 Sonata Limited V-6) yesterday that fit perfectly with what I needed to do for the forseeable future. I will miss the feedback and commentary here, but will be stopping by when time allows.

My best wishes to all...perhaps I will be back in the Club down the road....

Needed a real back seat for an expanding family, I presume? Good luck with the Hyundai - they've come a long way in recent years.

I feel you...Have a VACANT property that is draining me for everything Have a little one on the way also so will see....Like you said there is plenty of time to get another car that you appreciate. Family comes first My previous line of work was related to this mortgage mess and left me hanging with no income for close to 2 years Its scary to see how things have changed so much and I have considered giving it back to the dealer but then I just cant part ways I will wait it out till the summer is nearing its end to make the leap if I do. Hope I do not have to but will do what is required!

Looking forward to seeing you at the next meet. It will be good times and stick around! I plan to even if I sell my car. I really enjoy many of the members around here!

Going from Lexus to Hyundai? Interesting switch. I do like the Genesis coupe.

Congrats on the new car purchase.

The Hyundai Sonata is built quite well (better than the Camry IMO), and you can't go wrong with its functionality and efficiency.

Do post pics in the Car Chat Forum when you get a chance, as well as a review of the car in general. Hyundai has been a great debate for most CL members -- some love it, and some hate it. We would love to hear your opinion...

Good Luck on the Hyundai. I have a few co-workers that love theres more than there accords or camry.

I am thinking about going camry hybrid right now. gas bill+car payment= not enough money to do anything else.
