Just got my first car, and I'm also new here.

Hello! I'm Gabriel, and today I've gotten my first car today. I have a 2005 Mini Cooper Base Model (R50), in silver. It has 116,102 miles on it, it drives like a go-kart (like any other mini in general lol), nothing wrong with it when I bought it, it drives like new, nothing bad has happened to it so far, and yeah. It's perfectly healthy. I wish I had gotten an S (R53), but that will jack up the insurance costs lol. It has a sunroof, which is pretty surprising for a first car! Also, the only bad thing about it is that the armrest on the seat is that it slides back when I don't want it too. I'll have to find that out in the forum. But anyways, I hope to have fun with my new car in the future!

You don't have your MINI at the moment and you're posting that with a smiley face thingie??!!!! It shows you've not been a MINI person long enough to appreciate the irony of that "juxtaposition" (thank you Cliff Clavin).
