The election of Mr Trump as President of the United States and our new-to-us HYUNDAI car each entered our lives within a short span of time of each other.
Each situation evokes HOPE.
We are thrilled Mr Trump hit the goal of 270 electoral votes. We have not felt this excited in 8 years. Likewise, though our used car is older, and has logged many miles, and does not have every gadget, it does have predominantly good reviews. May our lemony-years be behind us.
Not very many XG350Ls are on the road as it was made by Hyundai for only two years some time ago. However, we managed to catch a glimpse of one in our neck of the woods, though not the luxury version that we own, just before it very quickly accelerated and disappeared from view. Yep, this model moves rather quickly compared to our former American-made car.

Mr Trump is supposedly very wealthy. We can partake of that lifestyle with our LUXURIOUS ("the poor man/woman's Mercedes") albeit lacking-in-gadgets automobile when compared to our other car: a spartan, cookie-cutter yet ever-popular, Toyota.

So, the car's rarity (will there be replacement parts available as the years go by?) and Mr Trump's lack of political experience nag us a little. But with risks come potential for great rewards. We'll take the unknown over same ol' same ol' -- be it our choice of car, or for whom we vote. However, we will pray -- harder than ever, and more often than ever.
