Hyundai Santa Cruz, Our New Fun Truck/SUV

American Press Travel News–Bob and Barb “On the Road Again”–March 18th, 2023, Port St Lucie, FL.–As a youth I aspired to own and show off a nice red Corvette, yet my first car was a big beautiful red over white, 55-Chrysler, and I loved my first car at 16. Then after returning from several years in the Middle East and Central Africa, my college car was a Volkswagen. It had a rag-top sunroof, so I could cast into the Connecticut River at the boat ramp and do my school studies, then after 4-years of school, I had a great Buick station wagon. Then during my trout farm years, in Vermont I had a ford truck, and Chevy Malibu, and over the years all sorts of different convertibles, hardtops, eventually SUV’s, and now a Hyundai Santa Cruz, little pickup-cum SUV. It has what I want today, a sun roof, covered truck box, great radio, and a modern, truly unique look, too! No, it doesn’t ride like a truck, it handles the road smoothly like a fine SUV. It can tow, and it can carry about anything I would want at my TN. farm, or shopping and cruising wherever I/we like. This is not a tech article so I am leaving out all vehicle specs and techs. I bought my new vehicle at Route 60 Hyundai in Vero Beach. I felt comfortable at this dealership, it helped that the actual owner visited us and was able to allow us to wheel and deal enough for me to bite the bullet and say yes to a deal I felt was fair and even a bit above the norm, in that I got what I asked for in price and unpaid for extras. One of those extras was a new $500 dollar hitch I wanted. Arron and Service Manager, Jeremy Hall really did me right! So, for now I can say that yes, I would deal with RT 60 Hyundai again and recommend them too. The dealership is located at 8575 20th ST. Vero Beach, FL go www.route 60 hyundai.com.

Their friends are called “Keys Kids”, even though they are all over 50-years old, and the Keys has always been their home. Some left, but the lure of the Keys has brought most of them back. The siren call of the Keys is hard to ignore, it stays in your blood and psyche, forever!
