First Mini!

So my trusty Subaru outback suffered a fatal stroke last week, so I was in a crunch to get some transportation.... I convinced myself to get a cheap commuter car, but it had to be fun. I've had my eye on a Mini forever, so this was my opportunity to get one. I've owned cars that cross the entire motoring spectrum, and I have a special fondness and appetite for smaller cars: Miatas, MR2, etc...
I had an emergency budget, found a clean example, and have been enjoying this 6spd F56 for a week now, and I couldn't be happier! At 6'3", I'm surprised at the space! Miatas were tight. MR2's were acceptable. This Mini is spacious! I'm looking forward to being part of the community!

Happy Motoring! Cheers!
