Yes I do - cause now I know you didn't realize a MC was slower than a MCS.
You do know a MCS is slower that a Corvette don't you? What else can I help you learn kenchan?

Wow - I go to sleep for a few hours and a bar fight breaks out...

It was almost 70 here yesterday... drove in a Christmas parade as the lead car for my kids' Tae Kwon Do studio - it was cool - hauled boxes of boards for them to break like a pickup truck...

that minimaybee can be a man that can be happy with himself and
look at things positively, not start from negativity.

ok, maybe that was a stretch.

i actually had fun going out in the cold (car was iced down 3mm
due to freezing rain last night) to babysrus to buy diapers
that were on sale + $5 off coupon. i must've killed a few
birds on this trip.

41F and drizzly here today - but I led about a dozen MINIs on a 46 mile motor through some cool twisties at challenging speeds.

But now my car is NASTY - QD had been keeping it lookin good for the last couple of weeks. Now it needs a wet wash... :impatient

I haven't driven the MINI in a week. I was out of town for four days and it has been snowing off & on since Friday. Tomorrow it is suppose to reach 42 deg F so maybe I can at least wash her.

Well its 9 right now so we'll see if it gets there. This past week has been in the 20's, but without the humidity like you have it really isn't too bad. Can't wash the cars at 20 though - humidity or not.
