Tifa wants to say hi

I got a used 2003 DS Mini Cooper S a couple months ago and finally came up with her name,Tifa lockhart, Tifa for short, if you ever played video games, you might know the name is from Final Fantasy 7. She is small petite but can kick some serious ***.

About myself: I live in West Allis(Milwaukee), WI. I am 19. I go to UW-Milwaukee for Criminal Justice and Psychology. This is my 4th car.
2006 mustang as my first car-totaled R.I.P(long story, not my fault)
1991 tempo ~paid my girlfriend 150 for her-sold
1994 cavilier~paid 350 -sold
2003 MCS (love of my life right now)


I got her with a little more than 100k miles but it was well maintained. I was not planning on getting a FWD in the beginning but after taking a basic cooper and loving it, I searched for the s and found her. after test driving her, I went straight to the bank and came back with money in hand and got her.

I have a friend who has a VW golf and wants me to get into the local solo auto-crossing with him. I do like the idea and hope to get into but am a little worried about the miles of my car. I do know people who work in the auto repair so I have easy access to cheap parts and tools, if I can't do it myself, my friends can help me with it. If you have any helpful thoughts, please let me know.

motor on NAM!
