Please pass the Kool-Aid!!

I have been lurking in the NAM forum for a while now... and I think I am finally ready to become a full-fledged member of the MINI cult. After several years of thinking about getting my own MC, I decided to visit MINI Motorwerks in Bloomington Minnesota this past weekend. I just wanted to check out the 2007 models, and maybe get some information. Yeah, right! I ended up falling in love with an '07 Chili Red MC they had on the showroom floor. The test drive was the clincher... I could not wipe the smile off my face! Up until now, I have been driving a full size, 4WD SUV... (which turned out to be a handy trade-in). My friends and family were shocked to see me come home with my little MINI... everyone thinks I have gone crazy. I don't care what they think! I can't wait to start motoring and attending some of the local and national events... if loving MC's is wrong, I don't want to be right BTW... is the "mod bug" contagious??

It's "mud bog", not "mod bug". You read it wrong.

Congrats on your new Chili Red MC!
The mod bug will be far worse than contagious! Think...infectious!

Great color choice!
Addictions only apply to drugs (don't they?)
