Drove by it on the side of the road, then that pun popped into my head and I had to turn around to go get a picture. It was for sale too. $3300.

Was it a manual? I notice that a lot of early 2000s Hyundais and Kias are equipped with manuals. I see far fewer autos.

I have one of those! :)

Mine is the common dark navy blue/gray color though (midnight gray metallic). I don’t think that shade of yellow was ever offered here in Canada...I’ve never seen any in that color!

I’ll agree with TurboSquirrel’s comment too...most Accents I see from this gen are often manual around here. It’s a good stick though for DD use...easy to find engagement point, light clutch, pleasant ‘clunk when engaging a gear...throws are a little long, but... :)

TIL: A pizza restaurant in Barrow, Alaska uses one of these as its delivery car and usually runs the engine 24 hours straight.

And of those manuals, I see quite a few with blank buttons where AC should go.

I'm getting old because I can't figure out Oppo slang... What does Dots stand for?

Down On The Street. It’s used for street sightings. And it’s been around since the beginning of Oppo.
