Commuter car
The 900 has been dutifully serving as a commuter for the last month or so. Getting better MPG on regular gas than the V70R does on premium is a plus, as is the fact that I can spend the mileage reimbursement money on the 900.
Of course, not all is rosy with the 900. The CHECK ENGINE lamp still illuminates at periods of idle, there is an irritating rattle of the trim attached to the inside of the liftgate, and the AM/cassette stereo has a bad crackle in the speakers.
The saddest part is that the Autocross season started last Sunday 04/29, a beautiful sunny day, and I missed it. We were to be away on a family trip to Vancouver BC, though during the autocross we were on our way home with a very sick Luisa.
The next race is on Sunday 5/13 (Mothers Day) but I’ll miss that too because I’m flying out to LA for some training that starts at 9:00 AM Monday morning. Boo hoo. The 900 is fun to drive around, but I want to autocross it again!
