The JCW is CRAP line is three years old. Many people are sick of hearing it as its been "discussed" in hundreds of threads over and over again .... OLD NEWS ... and I saw no reason to throw it into Sally's thread of happiness out of respect to her. That's my opinion. Like you said, its an open forum

But like you said, all is good. We all have opinions. Everyone is happy for her and that is what matters.

BTW, I wasn't bashing your opinion either ... I was only discussing its proper place in this particular thread. I meant no offense about your opinion.
Time to hug and make up!

Hmmm.. didnt think of that.. but this will be the last MINI I plan to buy.
Will be using Mia2 for my funeral plans..not to be too morbid. Not planning on dying anytime soon.

1) big congrats... for both getting another mini, and getting another job! I am a legal assistant, but i ended up getting back into retail for some extra cash, and to pass the time in the evenings when i have nothing better to do. Luckily the home section at JCPenney is a breeze considering it's retail.

2) I wish i lived closer and could have taught you some sweet stick shifting. I taught my boyfriend

3) I must return up north to see it! Although, it's depressing seeing another Cooper go, i want an S as well, so i can't blame you

not to further jack the thread, but an interjection...

(couple weeks after upgrading from an 03 MC to an 06 MCS) my friend says, "dammit- why does everyone wanna race you?!"

Well, hers and the banks. Unless she really hit the jackpot and pays cash. In which case can I have some money too?

That was one of the names i was going with with my future one... i was going to go Lenore theme on my OLD mini, only it's "the cute little dead girl." She's actually on my hoodie now

I can't find the roof graphic i put together long ago for my old mini, but it had the Edgar Allan Poe poem in the background of Lenore riding a dead carousel horse.
