Way to go! I quit in '05, right after I got my MCS. I quit smoking so I could better afford the car payment. My MINI saved my life.

I know I've already posted to this thread, but I'll be 44 in a month. Where'd the time go?!?

Thanks! If/when you figure out where the time went, let me know, eh? I seem to have misplaced a year or two somewhere along the way.

I was born in 1969 but I am 38 at last count.

I stopped counting. If you don't count them then they don't count.

I'm 31. Just quit 10 years of smoking in December, and the payment on the MINI is what I spent on cigarettes!

18 . Bought a Jeep Wrangler as my first car for $5,500 (50/50 with my parents), drove it 13 months and sold it for $10,900. Bought my first MINI Tuesday for $11,500 (Got a little boost for graduating highschool early). The Jeep was fun but not practical for going away to college. If I never bought it, I would not have been able to buy my MINI. Nothing but smiles from here on out.

49 here.
I'm told I look a lot younger, but when I look at myself I think I look 59.
Why is it always that way?

Looks like the average age has really dropped since the new MINI came out in '02. At first it was mostly men from maybe 45-65 who were buying them. I suppose they remembered the original Mini. and generally had more money for toys.

Now there is a much wider range of ages, and the male/female ratio, I'm guessing on this, has moved to the majority female side.

In summary, most everyone likes the MINI, and that's a good thing.
