YES!!! I either park a distance away or, if my wife is with me, we use her handicap parking pass. Those spaces that are big enough for vans are just the thing...

2010 HzB/HzB - picked it up Friday!

Here it is! I picked it up Friday in the rain and had to wait until today to have a nice day to take some pics...hopefully I know how to upload pics!

Having a blast already; can't keep the smile off my face. It will be tough keeping the tack under 4k for the first 1,200 mile break-in miles. Did the new owners keep to the break in period limits?

Mostly for me as well. I went from occasionally driving a decrepit Honda Civic to my MINI and it was a huge adjustment in acceleration so there were occasionally times when I rev'ed it too high but I really did try to keep it under the limits. Good luck!

Nice! It was hard to do it but yes. I was glad when the break in period was over so I could get on it a bit more.

Do your headlights have some kind of tint in them they look darker or is that a 2010 thing?

Very observant of you - the lights come uniquely black as part of the camden package.

I like Hailey's propellor on the front! Looks great. Have you considered a license plate frame on the back "I'm not driving fast...I'm flying really low".

Err, maybe you already have it.
