I'll be 19 in May... Full-time school and working 30 hours a week plus a side job detailing cars.

And it's TOTALLY worth it.

I'll go along with that.


O yea, and I'm 20. Just got my MINI this year in February. I was also feeling like a minority, because most MINI drivers are older, but that doesn't bother me. I always seem to talk too people older than me anyway. No offense, but it just seems that a lot of kids my age are stupid/annoying/ignorant/etc. Of course I have my circle, all remnants from the high school circle. But I'm definitely looking to meet more people my age, especially MINI drivers. Or just anyone in general.

Good Luck, and Good Motoring.

I'm 25... don't know if that qualifies as young anymore, but I've had my Mini since I was 24.

I usually talk to/get along with younger people. I'm not so much interested in talking about pension plans, retirement communities and hemoroids. I'm 52.

My son is 17 and enjoys driving our MCS on weekends.

He says he is getting a better feel for the manual transmission.

He's had his license since 16 and full unrestricted license since February.

He's driven the MCS at autocross before.

Good to hear!

Now that we're on the subject of car payments- and being that you don't have one- how would you like to see what it's like to have one? What I'm suggesting is just.... you pick up two or three months of my payments? haha

C'mon... just $270.00/mo. You won't even notice!
