Great news! I believe it was Tom Petty who wrote that, "The waiting is the hardest part."
In the meantime, have fun learning about the car here!

Not spending that $300 is still my only regret with my MINI 5 years later..

SNOW
no worries we have MINI' they are great in the snow. It's all the other people
driving out there we need to worry about. After the 1st snow I try and find a big CLEAR parking lot without parking bumpers to remind myself of how my Tires and MINI deal with snow.
