    There were only 144 cars planned to be allocated for the last half of May, so be warned... there are 75 dealerships down here so we're all in poor shape for the end of May - -again!

    Here's hoping it freezes over soon, then. :wink:

    BTW, I think I'm paying like 41 bucks (thus far) for a Prius clock and some kind of backpack on ebay. I am getting hosed, right?

    Where's a crying emoticon when you really need one.

    I wonder if other areas (West Virginia, apparently) are getting cars that historically went to SoCal or other places?

    Too late since I don't think I can retract my bid (at least not without having that affect my bid history, for whatever that's worth).

    You should list yours on ebay, though (assuming you really don't want it). The one on which I bid seems to be the only one available at the moment; you'll definitely get people to bid (probably pretty high at that).

    At least there are almost 2 days for someone to save you with a higher bid.

    Sure, you're just being kind. :wink:

    I'll bet you meant to say "some other nut to save you with a higher bid", right? :lol:

    yeah, but it looks like you put a maximum amount on it that ups with each other persons bid. so, you could go higher even if others bid on it, unless $41 was your max.

    does look like a cool clock, s'pose Toyota will get the hint and make available?

    Yes! Immediately after the bidding closes, they'll probably have one for $9.95. :lol:

    Looks like it is time to do another e-bay for the charities like you did before.

    Don't forget to hug the Bear and Tiger every now and again... :)

    Okay, might be a dumb question, but I am still a rookie...Do you mean 144 total for the whole country?! Or, just for California?

    No, that's 144 for all of Southern CA. There are far more than 75 dealerships in the USA, honey.
    I speak for SoCal only.

    Well, yes, I realize there are more than 75 dealerships in the US :wink: - I just wanted to make sure there were more than 144 cars being allocated for all the Toyota dealerships for the end of May. I didn't think Toyota would be that shortsighted, but you never know...
