Hi from the great state of Texas!

Is it bad when everyone who knows me asks where my mini is in the grand scheme of things, and I can tell them what step (with about an hour's accuracy)?

The only problem I see with my Mini in the forseeable future is I might get swallowed up in a Houston pot-hole

Not at all. We have all/will be there. Welcome to NAM and congrats on the new car!

What step are you on/in?

and what part of Texas? (I am partial to Fort Worth myself)

Car specs?

Born and raised in Houston.

My HB/W MC started production 3/6/05 and will be completed 3/14/04. (specs are in the march post)

There's a hole in I-10 near the 290/610 interchange that made my truck (94 f-150) jump over a lane on its own. There's the sinkholes downtown, and I swear that there are some places in the heights where the road just breaks off and leaves spots to flip cars into the ditch.

I guess I should get out of the burbs more often and inside the loop so I can let my MCS fall in a crater

Welcome to the play pen... Your wait will go by fast hanging around in here. Lots of support, great people, and info...

Oh and yes - do watch those pot holes. We hit one here in CA a few months ago that cost us a bent rim and a new front tire - ouch!!! Almost cost us both our front teeth too - LOL!!!
