Hope you all enjoy your time with family, friends and fine (or not fine, depending) automobiles! :)

Happy Holidays from myself, my cat Tazz and Humdrum (and the rest of the family’s Accent fleet - ‘Red Shift’ and ‘Ho-Hum’) from last year when we actually had snow cuz we don’t have much yet this year!

Merry *insert your celebration of choice here* to all of you! :)

So is this like the Humdrum cinematic universe? I had no idea!

Sortof? :P

I got mine first (currently at 168,000kms...was 54,000kms when I got it in April 2013), then when it was time to replace mom’s trusty old 2000 Civic EX sedan in the F all of 2013 that the Nova Scotian DOT had murdered with winter salt...you don’t want to know what the rockers looked like behind those black factory covers...

I had done a lot of research before I bought my Accent and knew they are basic, but very serviceable and reliable cars....so that is what I helped mom look for as well!

Her car, ‘Ho-Hum’ (currently around 80,000kms) is a 2010 (mine is a 2009), so she gets the fancy blue interior dash backlighting and different gauges as that was the first year Hyundai switched to that color scheme. Hers has an Auto trans (mine HAD to be a manual, I decreed it), and a sedan (mine’s a hatchback, obviously) Her car is the same color as Humdrum though - ‘Midnight Gray Metallic’:

At the time we were replacing mom’s car, my fraternal twin brother was looking at getting his first car (I had a 2002 Subaru Impreza 2.5TS wagon known as ‘Beastie’ before Humdrum) and he looked for an Accent as well...his ‘Red Shift’ (currently at 109,000kms) is a 2009, like mine, but is a sedan and also with an Auto:

They may be a bit bland, but they are very reliable cars, easy to maintain, and, with a manual (especially in hatchback form) fairly peppy and fun to throw around...at least I like mine a lot! :)

Moving from an Impreza to an Accent must have been quite a shift. Basic and simple rides have their own validation and fun factor though; you sure seem to enjoy yours.
