I read some news today (oh, boy!) about my new car choice. It wasn't good. Hyundai and Kia have admitted to overstating the fuel efficiency of its cars, and the car that will be most corrected is the Soul.

Since the car's fuel efficiency was one of its big draws, I am going to look at non-Korean cars, and see what my options are. It is a shame, because there aren't any cars in the Soul's class that are as good. I may have to re-think my needs here and come up with a revised plan.

The preceding two paragraphs were writtien before I received a call that the Silver Kia+ I hit a couple of weeks ago was still available, and the dealer hadn't filed a claim with my insurance company yet.

This left me an opening to do what I realized (after the fact) I should have done when I first found out I hit the car (see my post from October 29, 2012 here): I bought it. I'll be filling in the rest of the paperwork Wednesday after work, but now that I have it, I'm not in any hurry, and will pick up my new used 2012 Kia Soul+ after I get back from LA, just in time to drive it out to my sister Joan's for Thanksgiving.

There. Stick a pin in that, it's done.
