Why the hell didn't my parents buy me a brand new MINI at 17... (I sense some rich kids floating around in here. hehe.)

20, and can just comfortably afford an 02. and I think thats pretty good for my age. (as much as I drool over the 35K + MINIs I like to design on miniusa.com) lol

Well children, I'm 65...66 in Dec. Have had my 04 Cooper since Feb of 06. Looking for a JCW to just drive on special days. Funny how these little cars attach themselves to you...and I'm a former MBZ dealer!

I use to think that and your mini will keep ya feeling young for sure, but there will come a time when the old body says that bull riding is no longer in your future.

18, bought my 05 back in the spring with 82,000 miles thanks to getting a good deal on my first car (wrangler) and flipping it for quite a profit.
