Newbie from AZ

Hi everyone, my name is Jeff and I'm a Zonie. I currently own a very long in the tooth 99 Accord with over 200K on the odometer. My buddy just moved into town and we carpool all the time and he's got an R56 and I really dig it. I've been asking him a bunch of questions about his car and I'm really impressed how the car handles. I'm in no immediate rush to get a new car, but after spending some quality time in the passenger seat the mini has moved into my top 3 cars to consider when I decide to get rid of the accord. I'm pretty much waiting to see the specs on the up and coming CR-Z and how that drives as well as saving up some more money for a down payment. I really like the site and the tone of the members. Having been on various Honda boards, the members in general are more friendly. I'm having fun reading up on as much as I can about the Mini and learn what I should look out for and stuff like that.
