Sweet! What a great first car! Do your parents want to adopt any other kids???

 

Wow! Take good care of it and it will take good care of you for years to come!

You have the coolest parents ever. Make sure to appreciate them and show it by caring for your car and being smart and safe out on the roads.

Welcome to NAM!

 

That is too cool. +1 to all the above posts! Congratulations!

 

Very COOL! You must be an exceptionally great kiddo. +1 to all the above...and honor your folks by being responsible with your new baby.

WOW, aren't you the luckiest person ever?? I had the biggest POS on the road, and my parents didnt even throw in a dollar for fuel! Take good care of your dream car, and congratualtions (oh, yeah and WELCOME)!!!

 

I remember when I turned 16. My parents gave me luggage.

 

LOL, did you take the hint?

Congratulations on the purchase

 

That's one heck of a first car!!! Take good care of it, you've got something special!

 

Your parents ROCK! Good luck and drive safe.

 

Congratulations, great first car, very practical and lots of fun.

Drive safe while enjoying your MINI, your parents must think you deserve it. Don't let them down.

Pictures with them, you and the MINI would make a great gallery here on NAM.

 

yeah I was on varsity last year but I moved cities this summer which means new school and the swim practice times are outrageous so no school swim for me :(

 

Lucky you!! Congrats...and Welcome to NAM... Can't wait to see what it looks like....great parents you have....

I'm with you. My first car was a 1978 Honda Civic wagon with a choke--yes, a choke.

Anyway, I'm just jealous. Congrats!

 

EWW! Mine had a choke too. 1979 Dodge Omni...YUCK!!!!! Thing only ran occasionally, and when it did it would overheat. Couldnt fix it, 'cause all my money had to go for insurance. Boy those were the days. I would have killed for anything I could have driven out of the city limits.
Lucky, lucky kids getting MINIs...doesnt matter what year you got, you're still very very lucky!!!

 

I kno I got lucky with it as a first car but my dad found a deal. you should have seen my face when I saw it for the first time .

 

I'm still jealous. I cant imagine being that young with a car like a MINI!!! I thought first cars were there to teach one humility, and how to fix all that goes amuck under the hood/bonnet???

 

I didn't realize chokes were still used so late in life. My first car had one, too, but it was a 1953 Chevy. Four-door, so it wasn't very cool. But a great car to learn how to shift in.

Bought it when I was 15. Loved being able to get a license at 14 in Idaho.
