got one of the first 2007 with the new Touring edition package in Norcal.

It thus far is much better all around car than I thougt it would be.
First tank of fuel went 44.1MPG with brake in procedures and lots of driving in the foothills of the Sierras. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I am more than pleased since we are just starting to figure out how to get the most out of the hybrid system.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Nope, Suburban is relegated to the driveway until I get things moved around. Can't sell the 'Burb since it is my RV tug. Not too many vehicles short of a Burb or big pickup can handle my 8,000 pound trailer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Boxster is for sale now on 3 different sites. Once 914 gets engine pulled it will also get the engine compartment cleaned and painted. Any hell hole issues or battery tray rust will be addressed in advance of new motor install...then the car will be finished and will be garaged at the side of my house in its own little enclosure.
That will get us back to the Prius, the Suburban and my daughter's Protege in the garage....at last. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
