We picked up my new-to-me MINI Cooper S, in Dark Silver Metallic on Tuesday March 29th, and I still can't believe its MINE!! Anyone else have this sense of un-reality when they got their first MINI?

Yes, went through the same thing.
It does wear off but not for a long time!

 

Grats! The shock usually disappears after you write your first monthly payment.

 

Then it will never wear off - my other half is making the payments

Yup! We picked ours up on the 29th also! I keep walking outside to make sure the F150 is really gone! LOL

 

Got ours on the 31st, the last day of the 0% financing! Had to take advantage of that!

 

Grats to the OP on a new MINI. Now, pics or it didn't happen

I got my R53 in Sept. of last year, and yes the shock does wear off after a while, but the smiles upon seeing it in your garage or driveway, and the sheer joy of the driving experience does not.

Drive 'er in good health!

 

Pics to come. I'm on my iPad right now and can't figure out how to attach them! We didn't want to spend too much, so. Just got the base model Cooper. Still, it's an awesome car. Horizon blue metallic with black roof, and not much else! We've had top of the line cars before and you end up not using alot of the gizmos. It does have that fancy "disco lighting" that my 6-yr old loves of course. The wife and I are as happy as pigs in you-know-what!

 

ok, not the best pic, blurry camera phone, and I am laughing from something my other half said.

Hasn't worn off here - Had them in the family 9 years, had my own for a year and I still can't believe it sometimes

 

Nice ride, congrats! I've had mine for about a year and I still turn around and get a second look every time I walk away from the parking spot.

 

Same here, I got my first MINI in September of 2010 and traded in my F-150 for it and haven't regretted it once yet. We loved the MINI so much my wife traded her car in on one too. We are not a 2 MINI family. Its so much fun to just go for a drive. Enjoy it.

 

that feeling never wears off, which is fine by me! congrats and post pics please

 

Enjoy the open road! I know how you feel!

 

I'm the same way, bought mine 3weeks ago and ever morning I hit the start button I'm like WOW!!!!!

 

I always look back when I park it too, how funny.

Mel

 

Me too, my 4 year old ask me the other day "Daddy why you always look back at your car?"

 

I have a habit already of asking the MINI if it missed me when I go back to it. We came out of the movie theater yesterday evening, and I said "Did you miss me?". My other half almost laughed himself to death.
