You must have some nice parents, kid. Looks like you got a real nice mini. Prior to mine i h4 a 300hp acura integra (lots of mods!), a jeep wrangler (lots of mods), a honda crx (built for street racing-tons of mods), and an acura legend. The mini is hands down my favorite. I hope you enjoy it. Its a hell of a lot of fun to drive, its safe, it handles phenonenally, and its a lotta fun to work on. Take good care of her, alright? If you have any questions these forums hold the answers. If you need advice or anything, feel free to private message me. Happy Motoring!

 

Are your parents willing to adopt a 30 something year old?

Wow! What an awesome gift from your folks!
Drive safely, and don't be one of those Male 16-25 insurance statistics!!
Congrats!

 

i got my mini for my birthday last year.. and no im not listing the age.. but i can proudly say driving my mini makes me feel like a 16 yr old.. does that count?

 

^ Yeah, you'd be amazed what percentage of the auto claims I handle involve young male drivers.

And having had the keys handed to you, I hope you drive that car as if you had to work hard for it and putting a scratch on it would cause you great financial burden. You're a lot less likely to end up a statistic if you drive it that way.

Remember, there's a long list of people who never lived to be 20 because of an auto accident. You're not invincible.

Lecture over. Happy motoring !

 

congrats on your new car!

drive safe.

 

Nice gift and sweet z06 and Lamborghini. A friend of mine has a nice collection with a 1994 callaway corvette (stays outside in Michigan) along with 15 others that reside inside.

Now throw some tint on there.

 

My first car at 16 was a 1971 MG Midget.

A bit smaller than your MINI, but right up there in personality and handling.

Can't recall ever having so much fun-that is until I got my MINI about 3 years back!

Nice choice.

Now go enjoy yourself.

Keep us posted.

 

Dang. Nice Mini. I thought it was sweet my dad bought me an xB for my birthday/ christmas/ graduation.

 

^ It WAS sweet. Most people never have a new vehicle given to them as a gift. Not even a domestic car.

 

True but his is a JCW MINI. That's worth a ton more than what my xB cost.

 

But given what else is in his parents' garage, I'd say your dad sacrificed a lot more than his dad.

It's all a matter of perspective, Steph.

 

your dad has a pretty cool car collection... My first car was a beat to crap 85 subaru wagon that i paid $500 for... I worked hard for that 500 and loved that car...

 

Nice car, and happy birthday!

 

Happy Birthday and very nice car indeed! Way better than my first ride. +1 on you being careful, I would hate to see you or your MINI get into trouble.

 

Is your dad hiring ???

 

congrats on the nice ride
