Annoying Problems with My Elantra


How can such a tiny bird make such big droppings

Odometer: 12,233
MPG: 25.6

Looks like there is a something loose in the moonroof assembly. I hear a rattling like there is a heavy stoneware plate clunking around up there when I go over rough asphalt. I got the moon roof aftermarket, but the dealer said they would warranty it as if it was part of the car. So I got to get that checked out soon along with the sticking turn signal control and brake light recall issue.

Another problem has nothing to do with the car, but rather with where it is parked. A couple of little birds have set up a nest on a pipe on the far side of the carport at my apartment. One of the birds has chosen to sleep/perch regular;y on the pipe right over the driver side window of my car. After a several days of accumulating poop on my car, I saw the bird with my own eyes sleeping on the pipe while I was taking out the garbage. Amusingly cute, if wasn't making such as mess.

New Elantra Touring Commercial --- from Canada


Odometer: 11,178 miles
MPG: 26

Need to wax the car. Haven't done it since I've owned it.
Here is the first North American commercial for the new Elantra Touring.
No commercials here in the US except those for Hyundai Advantage program. Wondering if they are doing promos anywhere else... like magazines.
