What was the name of yours? ok, you don't name your cars. I think you should just think on it. You will make the right decision

If, judging by your name, you own an AMG coupe, you probably are already satisfied with your ride. We can't tell you how to spend your money, but my MINI sure does put a smile on my face Only you can make that decision.

I absolutely love the car so far and can't wait for the break in period to be over already!

Will get some better quality pictures, they were taken using my iphone after purchasing it and later on outside a store that night.
Very sharp! Congrats!

[quote=pezking6983;3556189]Picked up Deuce on Saturday and put 70 miles on it this weekend. Man, these cars are really nice. For a while I was a little bummed that I couldn't make the S happen, but I have zero regrets after finally owning a MINI.



Congrats!

Deejay...Viv is out on the driveway too. But wha da ya do? I washed her this morning, but she already has some kind of tree sap on her. Oh well....she looks great anyway and I think she likes to be a little dirty! WinstonAllegheneyIII should be proud of me....I put some "salad dressing" on Viv's tires too!
