New Guy here saying hello!

Hello there, My name is Jimmy and I own an 05 Cobalt SS Supercharged. My father owns an 03 Mini Cooper S. I joined these forums because I absolutely love his car. I was out driving it last night and it really suprised me! I had no idea the Mini S handled that well! It also felt noticably faster than My Cobalt which shocked me. Anyways I just thought that I would introduce myself!

My MINI still surprises me in the handling department.
Compared to the doo-doo metallic Buick I had a long time ago, the MINI is from another planet!

Welcome, good looking cars. You'll have to let us know if the 'arrest me' red Chevy attracts too much unwanted attention from Delaware's finest. I really wanted to get a red with silver roof Cooper S when I placed my order but was leary of attracting too much attention so I went with HB/S instead.
