WELL SHE'S HERE!!
Wow, I had no idea what a beast the mini is to drive! She's really is a little bulldog. A big car in a little body...substantial, weighty, very tight. Lounge leather seats are totally,totally worth it. They are extremely supportive, and luxurious. Ceam line interior is very classy, and easy to clean. (Bought window cleaner on the trip to remove bugs) Drove 400 miles on one tank of gas, directly out of the dealership to the coast. Couldn't believe how much fit....a friend, the poodle, and all of our stuff. The paddles will take a little getting used to, but really felt right on twisty hills. I can see why many prefer manual, but the automatic was very useful in the traffic jam on the way home. And the Xenons are wonderful!
Good service, at Rasmussen. It was a bit dark in the garage, so it was hard to see everything. Cream line was a bit dirty, and what I thought were fingerprints on the passenger dash are actually some flaws in the vinyl. They did try and clean it for me, but until I drove out, it was difficult to see. Small ding on passenger door. Difficult to see on the white...too bad I didn't spot it sooner. They also put in the wrong floormats, but are very kindly sending the correct ones so I don't have to drive back. Thank you Dan!

Thank you everyone! Still smitten over S/S, but I thought DSC was a good safety choice instead $$. I have been detailing her (possibly named Lola) for two days. Hard to see Epic on P/W. Think I can add some food coloring?

Congrats!!!
Nice pictures!
Thanks for mentioning the comment about the garage being dark. I will be sure to take an extra hard look while inspecting mine. Maybe I should bring along DH's super dooper flash light. They'd think I was crazy for sure.
Enjoy your beautiful new ride!!!
Happy
and safe motoring!!!
