I've officially driven 200k behind the wheel of a Mazda between the P5 and the MS6.
Some good news...last January the startup I worked for was bought by a larger startup. Yesterday, my new startup released their IPO. Stock options should eventually help me get out of the water with the condo once they vest. Unlike the Facebook IPO, Model N (MODN on the NYSE) stock rose 30% on the first day. We'll see how things go but if it holds ground I'll be smiling a few years from now.
I'm a bit bummed that I missed the celebration party. Battery died on the MS6. I knew it was going to be replaced soon. I moved the car quickly to get ready for the snow storm...to in front of the garage. Went to start it 2 days later and it was completely dead. That's fine I could jump start it right? Nope. Cables weren't long enough to reach the REPU which was blocked in the garage. That's fine, I could use my portable jumper. Nope. Battery dead. That's fine, I could use the generator. Nope, couldn't get a solid connection. I finally ended up taking the battery out of the REPU but by then I missed the party. Anyway, I think I'll get a new battery and put it in the REPU instead.
I've been shopping for vintage trailers again. Hoping to find a 14-16 footer that the truck can tow. We'll use it for race weekends (LRP, Watkins Glenn), a few camping weekends, and maybe a cross country trip or two. Nothing crazy. Probably don't need a shower/bathroom since the places we'll go won't have hook-ups anyway. Before that however, I'll have to find a hitch solution, some tow mirrors, and possibly a brake controller. I've been chatting with a few guys on Facebook about towing. One guy towed his RX-3 race car all over the south east in a REPU. Trailer, car, tools, spare parts (engines trannys, etc) weighed in at 3,500-4,000 lbs. Makes me wonder where they come up with the tow ratings on today's trucks if a 1.3L rotary can tow that much.
