Just got through the 1200 mile break-in period this week. Recent updates include window tint and swapped out the RFT for Michelin Pilot Super Sports. A few other updates are planned.

Gotta do your research for sure. I had a friend that said sure, I can set up your LLC for $500 to $600. Found out I could do it through state corp commission for $85!!

Had a guy.. walk into the Subway where my son and I were eating lunch..

"Is that your Mini?!"

Yes, I replied.. suddenly hoping he's not going to tell me it just got hit or ticketed..

"Dude, that is ONE COOL LOOKING CAR!".

Update on the POP-o-meter:

Just under 1K miles on the odometer and popping like a tin of Jiffy Pop on a bunson burner !

Every gear, upshift, downshift, or just easing up on the accel pedal.... burblePOPPOPburblePOPPOPburble....

Just got my personalized tags in the mail. Got my first choice, as I expected I would.

Some of you helped me decide on the tag so thanks... Vincent will be sporting "JCWOW".

That's pretty cool but I'm betting you take a hit on your MPGs.

Yeah, Greg... I knew I was good to go when my 18 y/o told me he's embarrassed by the exhaust. He embarrasses easily mind you, but that's a good sign !

Was looking in my Photobucket account for a pic of my art work I sent to you, Greg. Didn't find any but did run across this pic. A closeup of the MINI model display case from my garage I had at my last house. Still have the case and it's full now, set up in the basement at this house.

Name: Garage.jpg Views: 24 Size: 60.9 KB

Also found this... evidence that my other half loves MINIs almost as much as I do:
