Elantras in the backyard

Our driveway has become a new and used Hyundai Elantra car lot:

Jim's 2003 grey car was sold on eBay last week. He painstakingly listed all the repairs it needs and the fact that it probably wouldn't pass state inspection without major bodywork,since the front end was bashed last December. The buyer lives in New Jersey.
My 2004 blue car is doing well.

Jim's new 2008 black car has a standard transmission, which is hard to come by. But he REALLY likes driving with a shift. In the spirit of my old people page a day calendar of a few years ago (i.e."Why not have reclinable furniture?"):

"Why not automatic transmission?" It's nice to not have to think about what gear I'm in, and I get 37 mpg highway.

Jim wrote a nostalgic family letter listing all the cars we're owned and some family history around each one, starting with our dear Chevy Nova, including our purple tailgate Voyager "Dolphin" and now in our Hyundai phase. To date we've owned four Hyundais.
