Now THAT’S a race car!

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.
