GoodBye for now.

Well for now my run with the Mini's is over. I traded my last mini my (02' MC) into the dealer last night. I purchased a Black/Black 08 Dodge Ram SLT Big Horn 1500 with the Hemi 5.7L. I drive a truck for work 5 days a week. So I got so used to it I went and purchased one for myself. I will be using it for some towing (Couple Sea-Doos) I will return to the Mini's one day, just not at this point. I love everything about them. Hardest part for me right now is going from 30mpg to 13mpg. I like the truck though so that is all that matters. Here is a pic. to close it out.

-John

I have a feeling you'll be back soon enough. After all, you've already had a taste. The withdrawals should start in 3... 2... 1...

Good luck, John! Stay in touch... remember, that Ram can haul a car trailer with a track-prepped Mini on it.

No reason to leave just because you traded in the MINI. But safe travels, all the same.

Aw so you finally got rid of the MC...well you got a lot of surface area on that truck so you'll want to attend one of my weekend clinics to polish it, lol! I'm sure you'll be back soon enough. =)
