New Owner

Had a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sport JKU, and I did enjoy it a lot. But dealing with the local Jeep dealership here in Santa Fe as well as Chrysler Corp. caused me to sell it.

Since I've ridden BMW motorcycles for quite sometime, I decided to ride down to the Mini dealership in ABQ to test drive a Countryman All4. Now I am the owner of a new 2013 Cooper S Countryman All4. Pretty sweet little ride, have always been a fan of the Mini, but never pulled the trigger on one.

Anyway digging on it, and hoping to find some useful info on this forum.

Good choice! I bought my youngest daughter a new Jeep Wrangler on her 16th birthday in 2007. Upkeep and problems have been an expensive problem. "Spike", as she calls him, may be out the door soon. 40,000 miles on the odometer.

Thx tampadave, and thx to the rest of you guys for the warm welcome. I can say that I am having much more fun driving my Maxi than I every did in my Jeep.

So why did she name the Jeep "Spike"?
