Today's News and Weather Report

[la_samtyr]

The weather is just lovely out and I have to admit I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

So anyway, to recap what's been going on: Monday I went to the state fair. It was a lot of fun, though a huge crowd. Lots of walking even though we were able to park fairly close. I probably walked *a lot* more than I do in most average days. Looked around at lots of things but didn't buy anything as such except for some noms. [g] Sadly, the draft horses were gone so next year I plan to make sure to go on a horse show day.

Tuesday, I went and looked at cars. Right now my '89 Blazer is at the point where if I put in any more repairs, I will be married to it and I do not like that idea at all. (Mom was one for "keeping a car in repair just enough to keep going", even when they should have been long traded off and a better one bought.) It's still a good enough car if someone can do repair work but I can't do it. So it will be going to someone who can, and I will have a newer one that *hopefully* will need less work all around.

So far the models I have looked at are (these are all '10's, btw):
a) VW Jetta Sedan
b) VW Beetle Coupe
c) Hyundai Elantra
d) Hyundai Accent
e) Mazda 3

So if any of you happen to know anything at all about any of these models, please let me know, whether it be good, bad or indifferent.

Off to look at more cars -- back later on.

I drove an elantra once and liked it. Safe, solid, value for money. Accent is the smaller version of the same manufacturer so the difference I see is in size and heaviness. Easier to park.

The Beetle Coupe is a good car, just that its looks doesn't do much for me. I am not fond of that shape but hey, let me not prejudice you over that. It is a very nice car.
