And Then There Were Two

My wife and I have been test driving a number of vehicles for her to commute to work. We looked at a Mini Cooper, a Honda Fit, a VW Jetta and a few others, all with manual transmissions. After all was said and done, the Cooper came out on top (best mileage and by far the most fun to drive).

Went to Patrick Mini Monday night to look at what they had. Patrick had a base CR/W Copper with all the options we wanted (Cold Weather Package and Bluetooth Hands-Free) and none that we didn't want. Next thing you know, we went home with it.

We've now been busy going through the configuration menus trying to set the car up as she wants it. There sure are a lot more things you can change without having to take the car back to the dealer!

The bad news...my '04 R53 has been relegated to outside parking.

Outstanding, but at least your 04 has a buddy now!

very cool on the 2nd MINI

Not so cool about having your R53 outside... maybe you can build a carport??
