I'd just like to say hello to everyone in the Mini community and to thank my lucky stars that I did NOT buy that DODGE RAM RUMBLE BEE 5.7L HEMI !
The gas prices alone would have ruined me... I really had no idea what I was getting into when I first noticed the used 2002 MCS on the lot at the Crysler/Jeep dealer. I was close to making up my mind with that truck (1 left!), but I was walking around the auto mall just to think things through. My cousin was with me, and we were doing the pros and cons thing when one decides to buy something expensive. The 'gas' issue was the only thing holding me back. I've always had older cars, (My last car was a 1957 Ford Custom), and I wanted something more modern and less prone to breaking down on the side of the road.
The coop s I came across just begged to be driven at the lot. The vultures were out and one smile towards them later I was test driving that car through the backroads of Folsom. To make a long story short the keys were handed to me that night/morning at 2:30 am!
2 years later, It still gives me that warm fuzzy feeling every time I drive her, and I know I made the right decision. She hasn't failed me yet! -Jake

 

Luv those 'bolts! Uber cool.

 

Thanks! Got them at http://www.aestheticreations.net/bonnetstripes3.htm

 

Nice!
Welcome to NAM.

 

Aesthetic Creations, you say ??

Hmmmmm... might have to check them out and see if they have anything I might like.

Hell, I think I put two of Mike's kids through college. Wait... does Mike have any kids ? Maybe I put MIKE through college !

 

They also threw in a special 'Dragon' decal with their logo and an "ACTUAL SIZE" decal for the boot as well... But I highly recommend getting a professional to apply the lightning bolts. They were a mother to line up!
