I’ve been driving my 900 to a client site in Burlington, WA , this week, which is about an hour north of my house. This trip is the breadwinner for the 900, I get about 130 miles/day which is good for about $60/day. When I filled up last night, I had achieved 28.79 MPG over 335 miles.

I’ve always felt like it’s fun to drive my “race car” for work, it always stands out from pretty much every other car. Until now.

Yesterday I went  out for lunch and when I got to the Visitor spots, a REAL race car was parked two spots away from the 900. It’s a rally-prepared Celica AllTrac Turbo, from back in the days when Toyota knew what an interesting car was.

Totally cool. Probably a bit noisier than the 900, though, as the entire interior is stripped down to sheetmetal.

I lost the bid for the stereo system in the last 2 minutes of the auction. I need to become a little more eBay savvy, I guess.

It looks like the seller has re-listed only the CD player. Perhaps the person who beat me really only wanted the head unit.

 I’m watching a couple of other auctions right now for similar stuff. One is for WAY too much money. One is in Madison, WI, so I could have my brother get it for me.

 I’m a bit disappointed, but I’m still pursuing the equipment. I’ll keep you posted.
