Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I hope she stays strong.
Did she ever have seizures before?

Hyundai has come a long way.

Not familiar with the car though.

If she is buying versus leasing, she should get the gas version. Too much unknown to buy an EV of any type according to my research.
Gasoline with the 100k mi warranty. She wants AWD and likes the turbo.

Hyundais are big in Iceland, which is where Long-Suffering and No Good Son In-Law is from, so she has driven a bunch of them.

It will take multiple turnovers for this to be close in the fourth quarter. We have no depth to hang with this kind of team.

I know, but one can still hope.

Alabama is vulnerable.

I don't know anything specific against them and the 100k warranty is a plus. I would add that a turbo likes clean oil and doesn't appreciate neglect.

SIL is no good? I thought you had approved?

the price is typically cyclical and is low in summer. That's why I renew then. I renewed for 1 year but should have locked in at high 40s for three years. in the NW METRO ATLANTA AREA we don't use much gas for heating so it's not critical like in the frozen tundra. Not too long ago we had plenty of clean natural gas.
