You made the fatal mistake of walking into a Wal-Mart. Now you will never know the answer. It is forbidden.

Did I mention I'm on Percocet. I'm not thinking straight over here!!!!! Don't make me do something drastic. I don't need to be on the evening news looking the way I do.

What are you talking about???? That's not even a complete sentence. You're messing with me cause I can't see straight, aren't you.

Okay, I know how to get people talking around here. $100 to the first person who tells me what it says.

Ah, it's not too late to tell me. I knew you would come around, eventually, with some persistance. Who know when GBMini gets off work. His shift could have just started.

How about we put our past behind us and get know each other a little better? You can start first, by telling me what you know about this ad thingy...

I got my black box in the mail today!! I was very surprised and excited!! I wasn't sure if I would get one or not since we bought our MCS used!

Did anyone notice that when you open the compartment in the back in says for more info to check out the Owner's Perk section of MINIOWNERSLOUNGE.com. I went there and couldn't find any information. I checked under the section Road Knowledge and then under Private Investigation, but it is under maintenance now! Had anyone seen any info on it on the site?

MINI Secret Black Box- contents

Today I received in the mail a Black Box from MINIUSA. There are secret instructions included with whats in the box. The MINI instructions say " If anyone asks, respond coolly with the following answers" " If MINI wanted you to know they would have sent you one" "No hablo ingles", "Im in the MINI of the cardboard-Box-Of-The-Month club", "Oh, its just a boxfull of none-of your-business". I have not figured out how to "decode" the stuff in the box yet, there are red colored glasses, a prism like piece of plastic, an outline of a MINI on cardboard,all hidden in a book with a secret compartment............ will post more when I figure it all out!
