Show us your... Unnecessary Car Purchases!!!

We all like to buy our cars presents, most of them are really unneeded. Some enhance the drive, some are purely aesthetic, some are for our own enjoyment. Post up your purchases that you thoroughly enjoy but are really and truly unnecessary.

Here is my most recent purchase. I was in need of a new head unit, mine just wasnt doing it for me anymore. I had full intention of spending $200 on a Panasonic unit from Best Buy. Then my friend said he was selling a head unit and $200 later I end up with this.

Get it straight, MISTER... CR&PW were bought at the same time and THEN JB was added to keep them company.

So... in the true spirit of the thread, what I bought for our MINIs....




ANOTHER MINI !!

I bought a Mini. Didn't need her but I wanted her so I bought her. She keeps the motorcycle in the garage company.

I was just about to share, when I realized that our MINI's, especially if you have vanity plates, are highly recognizable. I am not trying to be a killjoy, I am just showing some concern for my fellow Motorers. Be careful what you disclose about the contents of your MINI. Just this week, I believe GoldenChild's MINI was broken into and his Nav Sys and others things were stolen. Not to mention the damage and insurance headache. I can't help but think that we are all easy targets, especially with all the information, bragging, and photos we post.
Be cautious and happy motoring y'all.
