Daily driver is a 07 Audi A4.
Weekender or when I want to feel the road, 05 R53.
My girlfriend is thinking she should have bought a mini
instead of leasing the A4 so I can Mod hers as well.
Keep telling her she's in a good spot since there's
a possibilty of AWD in 09.
So I've heard.
Can anyone confirm this!

Wife drives a 2004 VW Passat GLS 1.8T. The crazy thing is that it gets better gas mileage (city & highway) than my MCS!

I drive a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo to work. I've received too many dings and dents in the parking lot to subject my 06MC to such treatment.

i used to have a 96 Civic hatch for daily duties...

to make a long story short, so i could get my MCS, the Civic had to go to my younger bro and i got our 2002 beetle in not really good condition

first mod when it comes out of the paint shop is a "my other car is a Mini" bumper sticker

Two second cars: 1999 Honda Accord (V6), 2005 Lexus RX-330. Its very hard to go from the MINI to the Lexus ...like going from a go-cart to a school bus. I always get into trouble going around the first corner in the Lexus and get yelled at by the wife.

Do you ever wave at a MINI when you aren't in your MINI? I've gotten some mighty strange looks that way.
