04 Pepper white newb in Los Angeles

Well I'm new so i thought i might introduce myself and my MCS story.

Had a 1991 subaru legacy that got totaled on St.Patricks day parked outside my house and the drunk driver who hit it took off but cops eventually found him at his house (turns out he goes to same university as me). Anyway dad chimed in and said time to get a new car that doesn't have any problems and has a warranty.

Enter the Mini Cooper S pepper white with pepper white roof! Almost didn't get the car becuase some woman came to buy it but thank fully we got there first. Only had 7500 miles on it and came at about 21,000-23000 (Not exactly sure on price except i pay 399 a month). Also i'm from england and my dad had a mini cooper when i was born so he was trippin balls when we got it, having flaashbacks and everything.

Anyway really happy with the car. like i mean, REALLLLYY HAPPY with the car. everytime i drive it makes me smile. Driving is fun again!!!

Oh, sorry about the long post. i'll try to keep it short next time.
THANX NAM!

P.s any tips you guys wanna give me as a newb?

Welcome to NAM! Sounds like your Dad ought to join NAM too! I own a LY/W MC, but always liked the crispness of the pepper white color. Happy Motoring.
