Rental cars and races

Saturday, March 29.  The entries will become short and sweet for now as I am getting really busy as you might imagine.  Today I rented a car to drive to Chicago for the first time.  The rental car websites said that a compact rental would be $20 plus taxes and fees.  So I used Priceline and got the same car for $10 a day!  What a deal!

It made so much sense because it would have cost me $60 to fill up the tank on my car, plus I would add 600 miles to my car that would probably put me over my mileage limit for my lease, which is due in November.  So I save in several ways!

The drive went great.  No traffic and easy and safe driving.  A Hyundai Elantra.  A small car but easy to drive and great gas mileage.  And I got free XM Radio, which was cool.  What a great idea.

Chicago tonight was pretty chill, a late dinner with lots of pasta and early bedtime for the big race tomorrow!  I am excited to race and excited to tell you about it tomorrow.
