Reasons to be cheerful!

Is that snow or sand?

Lookin' good G85.  Describe the  new wheels for us.

It's a Hyundai Coupe, 1998 model. 1,6 litre engine making 113hp. Not that much more than the van produced, but with 600kg less weight on it the power-to-weight ratio is significantly better.
While it is somewhat older then I might have liked, the previous owner is a professional mechanic, and has invested significantly in maintenance and upgrades.

It is actually the same model as the first car I owned (although that was a 2,0 litre) and that was my favorite of all the cars I've owned. Getting in this thing for the drive home was much like finding your old favorite shoes again after a long time and slipping them on. Just felt right.

Is that snow or sand?

I'm in Northern Norway in November. Take a guess....

So after many misadventures with my old, big, fat, ex-ambulance the time has come to get something better.
Just picked this baby up today. 

Nice, Guardian85, very nice.

So much snappier than a worn out ambulance.

It looks more like a posh atheist's vehicle.  Old ambulances are for hippies.

[Asmodean]

The Asmobile is not posh, nor is it an atheist. It's a devout Asmoist, you see. Panders to His every Evilly-Divine-Transportation-Related Whim.

The smallish vehicle looks nice, despite its decidedly Asian lines. Is it by chance a Mazda of some sort?

...Nevermind. found the post. Same model as before? A red one or some such? What was its fate again?

The previous one of this model had an unfortunate and violent encounter with an Opel.
Asmodean involvment was suspected, but never confirmed.

[Asmodean]

Asmos approve of Opels, so He wouldn't hurt one. Anti-Asmos and pesky Tanks, however... Who knows.

Also, it is quite possible that The Asmo's disapproval of most Pacific Rim vehicles is in fact so strong, that He would sacrifice an Opel to see one die.

...Mysterious ways. Asmos move in them.

It's a huge weight off my shoulders. Now I can sleep at night, literally.
