I wanna hear the story and know which dealership you got him from. I'm waiting for my MINI and I just really need to know. Thx Pandy. I live in Hawthorne and went to Southbay MINI.

no namesake, i've always liked that name..it has this tone like
"OH.....charlie.." when you've had a bad day or something, some one
you can talk to...

So i am not sure if you guys were a part of this tread when i was having trouble making up my mind between the manual or auto because i didn't really know how to drive a manual. Well, after a few stalls and mis-shifts, i got it! It's not so bad! I'm still getting used to the uphill incline...(i am afraid of hills, even in a regular car!) But it's funnn so far! 
Long story..here goes..i had taken forever deciding between the lighting blue or the dark silver amongst other options
. I ran into Cedric the Entertainer the actor at work , had a long conversation as we're walking and i asked him what color i should get, the blue, the red or dark silver. He looks at me up and down, said dark silver.. It's true, not making this up!
When my car arrived at the dealer, there was a scratch. They had to fix it. That wkend of halloween, some punk throws a pumpkin through the back windshield of my old car , it flys to the front, it pushes forth my head rest, breaks some buttons on the console, breaks the corner of the console, the fan setting buttons don't work now...glass, pumpkin, seeds ..everywhere. I was traumatized. I was so worried about getting the mini at this point, what if it happens to the mini? I cancelled the car , then i was saddened as i was driving my old car , it wasn't the same anymore, so i called the dealer and decided to get it! Ha, you didn't know you were going to get such a long story huh? Actually, i gave you the brief version of it!
I'm just glad that streak of bad luck is gone!
