Working the Hyundai into MASH
Did you ever play MASH as a kid? Or maybe you still play it. I don’t know. I always liked finding out who I was supposed to marry the most Then after that my favorite part was to watch whether the M, the A, the S or the H got circled at the very top designating mansion, apartment, shack or house.
But right after that the best part was finding out what car you would drive when you were “grown up.” I think it was really exciting because I was so clueless. I wanted the game to tell me what kind of car I’d be driving because I wasn’t even that aware of what I should want to be driving! I did have to come up with the 4 options and they were always some crazy, random combination like this:
1. Bug
2. Ferrari
3. VW Bug
4. BMW
Yes, yes. I know it’s a ridiculous list. But my 8 year old self was trying her very best. I’ve absolutely defined my preferences since then! Now I’m wondering if I’d ever heard of the Hyundai as a child. And if I hadn’t…why not? I find their line up offers something for every mood I’ve ever found myself in; not that you should buy a vehicle based on mood unless you’re P-Diddy, but it’s nice to know I could if I felt like it. You could start off in the Accent (it’s remarkably affordable) and move up to the Elantra when you’re ready. It offers more space than its competition and some pretty admirable “green” features.
The Hyundai Sonata is a “large car” according to its EPA classification and offers a great variety of popular safety features all standard. The Azera has been awarded J. D. Power and Associates APEAL study recognition twice. The Hyundai Tucson offers a great combination of SUV and car that is so popular right now; the look and feel of the SUV and the comfort of the car. The Santa Fe was chosen by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety as a “Top Safety Pick”. The Entourage received the same honor from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Its the Hyundai’s version of the mini van and comes equipped with all the technological advances we’ve come across in recent years to make the mini-van even more user friendly. The Veracruz has that fabulous third row seat known as the Hyundai Hideaway! And the Tiburon comes along as the only Hyundai coupe. It’s got sport tuned suspension and a design that just looks good.
Playing MASH at this late date may be a bit pointless since I’m technically already “all grown up,” but I’d be much better at it now than I was when I was 8. I think I’m going to challenge someone to a game the next time I’m waiting at the doctor’s office. I’m totally going to get the Mansion and the Tiburon and Brad Pitt. Watch and see…
