Going to the gas station has never been so much fun
Hi All,
I never thought the day would arrive where I looked forward to a trip to the gas station. Then along came my new mini and I'm all of a sudden looking for any excuse to get out of the house. Even if it costs me $50 in premium fuel. I used to be content working from home. Now I'm jealous of all you commuters out there. Why can't it take me an hour to get to work!?!
As you probably have guessed, there's yet another mini convert in the club. Is it ever a club i'm happy being a part of.
My mini isn't sporty, it's just a simple little cooper with a few extras (sport, premium packages). She's BRG/W with stripes, and i think her name is gurdy. We'll have to see if it sticks.

Yup, that's 50 CDN. 91 Octane here in Toronto ran me $1.07 a litre this morning. Just under $50 for an (almost) complete tank. A little over $50 from bone dry.
Funny thing is I'm happy that I'm getting the 'good stuff' instead now. Bye bye bronze... Bye bye chevy

In addition to enjoying the trip just to fill up and get back on the road, I have noticed that since I purchased my MINI, I seem to make new friends every time I fill up. I always have people come walking over and ask me "is that a fun car to drive?" It seems like every one says they either are or have been mulling over purchasing one.
