My first car (and Mini) in the USA

Australian living in NYC - Naturally with parking garages being ridiculously expensive, I've bough a Mini Cooper S F56 2DR (2014) to be able to park the car in small tight spaces that people who don't know how to park leave behind.

There's a whole bunch of **** right about my car, but also a tonne of **** wrong. Looking to discuss all the above.

Melbourne is my home town. Miss it like crazy, but there's not much I can do with Australia being locked down. Glad to be on here - I've been searching for a Mini Forum that is active. Found myself @ mini2 but it's dead quiet.
