Is that your dream MINI or mine?

Way cool!!! Especially the shocking part, I always thought that was a good idea too.

it's hurts when you have to pull out your tow tag for NON-aesthetic purposes, especially for the first time. Trust me i know the feeling. just glad to hear from you that your fine. Sorry i didn't check on here any sooner.

It's bad that something happened to Lenore, but in the end what really matters is that you're ok. Lenore is still only a car and can be replaced. You cannot.

Can't goto the Sally dealership and order another sally.

Awww, thanks. Thats very kind of you.

The one cool thing about getting the tow hook out...I couldnt find mine, but Melanie was there with her MINI and pulled hers out. Once the tow truck guy came, he showed us when mine was. So instead of taking mine out, Melanie took mine!
We exchanged MINI parts.

Congrats on Lenore's return, Sally. No more Taurus for you - even if it was Jet Black.

I dont know why anyone would voluntarily buy a tortoise/taurus... That car was AWFUL!!!
It got 17 miles per gallon

And being jet black didnt make it ANY better! :impatient

That's OK Mom, you can drive my JCW anytime... before the drinks start flowing, anyway.

Besides, when you give someone a lesson, you aren't doing the driving!

You're absolutely at anytime allowed to take 'er for a spin!!

Plus, I think that there's enough JCWs in the club now, finding one shouldn't be too hard!!

You left leg is probably all atrophied and such from it not actually getting use in the drive.

At least you didn't run off and join a Taurus club or something. You know how seductive that vague steering and mushy brakes can be. Not to mention that complete disconnect from the road.

thanks you guys. I might take you up on your offer during the party. Since I don't drink, there shouldn't be a problem. Of course the road I live on is perfect for a test drive....
