ShadowCat is coming home tonight!

I'm picking up the new baby tonight at Tate MINI.

The soundtrack has been ready for weeks!!

I've already called the tinting guys and they will be doing the windows for me tomorrow AM. I can finally get the new wheels I bought out of my living room!! I've got a friend who is going to help me install the Aero grill. YAY!!!

I can now become an official member of DC Metro MINIs.

Pics will come later!

...perhaps this is the impetus I've been waiting for all my life... And the autobiography will begin with: My whole life changed after the MINI... Perfect car, perfect job, perfect man... HA! I'll settle for two out of three. Which one is next?... stay tuned.

All day? Nah, Just around 12 hours or so...

Yup, I'd say we'll just be getting warmed up by 2...

Congratz on Shadowcat!

Hopefully you heed the words of many wise members, and avoid Tate for service whenever possible.

I'm not sure. Sorry for the late post. I think I've been in the car since I picked it up Thursday night. She is just incredible. :D

Congrats! It is hard to tear yourself out of the drivers seat isn't it?

I'm having a blast. Everyone who sees the car agrees that it is "me". And they are grudgingly admitting that it is a really sweet ride.

Yeah, well... since you're being obsessive compulsive about your MINI, we'll let you slide this time.

But we expect those pics before the end of next week or we'll have to vote on a possible revocation of your posting privileges.

Nah, that everything must be 'just so' applies to most of us, with or without woman bits!!
