03GTE 2003 Elantra GT Sedan How long have you owned your Elantra? I have owned my Elantra since March of 2006. Is there anything special, unique, or different concerning the history of your Elantra? Well when I was standing next to it looking at it when I was going to buy it a car drove by and egged it as I was standing there with the sales man. Haha. Honestly, what was your intention when you bought your Elantra? I needed something that looked good, was good on gas, and I had to have a warranty. What was your intention after discovering EXD (or other Hyundai forums)? I was excited to see that I was not the only one tuning a Hyundai. When I found out that I could modify a lot I started to do so. In one word describe the style of your Elantra. Clean. Sporty. (Admin note: That's two words...) Who helped modify your Elantra? Tech Auto Sound in Lynnwood, WA. What do you like most about your Elantra? The sound it makes when the throttle is wide open. What do you like least about your Elantra? The engine tick that the dealer says is normal... What modification is next for your Elantra? Well I think that I'm ok with it for a while, but if I had to choose then I would have to say either a 22mm sway bar or a short throw shifter. On a scale from 0-10, how would you rate your Elantra? 8. Most commonly, what do people say about your Elantra? "What kind of car is that?" People are weird, I have gotten mostly "Volvo?" LOL. Who is allowed to drive your Elantra? ME! Maybe my girl. MAYBE. What is the most outrageous thing you have wanted to do to your car that you have not been able to do? Well I want a turbo. But I can't afford one. What kind of car did you own (or drive) before your Elantra? Wow. The last car before this one was a 1989 GMC S-15. Then before that they were: 1989, 1991, 1993 Jeep Cherokee, 1987 Nissan Maxima, and a 1988 Honda CRX. Realistically, what kind of car is next? Either a MazdaSpeed3 or a Nissan Pickup 4x4.
