Me and My Getz: Minnie's Birthday, my Hyundai Getz Day 1

I was giddy with excitement when Chris, my Hyundai Sales Agent, said that they will be able to deliver the car by Wednesday. It was a Thursday then, February 10, when I made my downpayment. I paid by using a check because I thought that would be more safe (lugging around a huge amount of money is like biting a knife). Anyway, so we had to wait for the check to clear and for my tint choice to be available. I then worked on completing all the document requirements.

I was afraid that the delivery date was going to be pushed because I was so busy with work. Good thing Chris, being good-natured and a great sales agent, was flexible and allowed me to just submit some of my documents via email. I just signed them in person when he dropped by to get some documents signed by my hubby. By mid-Wednesday morning the documents were complete, check cleared and an hour before sunset Minnie, my Hyundai Getz was delivered.

My Mom dropped by my home to check on me -- well actually not really me, but the car! Haha. She was just about to leave when Minnie arrived. I ran inside the house to get my camera and when I got out my Mom was already in the driver's seat! She was really excited too since she said that she was my age when she got her red Opel.

After signing some additional documents, Chris explained to me about the 1K, 5K etc. check ups and the 5-year warranty. Turned over the extra key and pointed out that the keychain had Hyundai Sucat's number on it. After that Gio, the Hyundai hand-over specialist, did a short demo for me. He showed me how work the trunk in case I need a bigger space for my stuff.

He then showed me how the windows and locks worked.

And the engine. He also mentioned that I should break-in the car soon because that's going to determine the health of the car. Subic, he said, would be perfect. He also explained about the water and cautioned me against getting water refills from gas stations and encouraged me to use distilled water. Also to break in the car slowly by not pushing the RPM to 100 (have to research more about that).
