I just bought a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon (i pronounce Hyundai like hi-oon-die, kinda how it is spelled). It is green, but i plan to have it painted. There are lots of cool colors of paint now; they change colors depending on the angle viewed from, the one i want is base silver but looks purple from certain angles. *drool*

It's a great car. i wish i had bought one back in 97 when i was originally looking at them, but i bought an Acura Integra instead. it was a decent car, but it was $6k more than the Hyundai and not nearly as cool.

My first car was an 84 Buick SkyHawk (no, not a SkyLark, they were better cars ;) which died within a year, then an 84 Toyota Tercel which i drive for 5 years and put over 100,000 miles on (it already had over 60,000 when i bought it). I sold it for $500 to a friend when i bought the Acura. As far as i know my friend's ex-wife is still driving it. :)
