Tomorrow I'll Be A Real American
Having gotten Step One of turning Lesley into a Real American out of the way, it's time for Step Two aka the Final Step.
I signed the paperwork on a car today. I'm picking it up tomorrow. It looks like this (although the red should be darker, more crimson, on mine).
It's a 2005 Hyundai Elantra.

Yet again proving that I am a more diehard Yankees fan than you. I would never buy a red car, especially not now. For shame. Tell me where you'll be parking the car so I can borrow it and have it re-painted navy blue with pinstripes and an interlocking NY.

Hey, that's right, I neglected to congratulate you on finally becoming a Real Amurican! Say - we've got a sort of royal blue car and you've got a red one. Maybe Jon would consider getting a white one and we could drive down 3 lane highways side by side. :)

No fair -- Dad ripped off my comment. I told it to you and Dad last night. And we decided Jon wouldn't like to even hear a suggestion that he buy a car, much less be told what color it should be. Eh, Jon?
It's beautiful; I love the Cardinals Red color; and I pray you use it in good health and safety.

LOL.

Ah, but it's inexpensive, which was the key. My first car was run over by a tractor while it was parallel parked. My second car was set on fire in a parking lot. I figure that after whatever will happen to my third car happens, it really won't matter what it looked like.

Congrats on the new car. Hyundais are good cars, I like their Tiburon (sp?). I would consider a Santa Fe as my next vehicle, but I'm more in need of a pick-up than anything else.
