Bump.

 

My first post.
I have wanted a Cooper S for a while and noticed yours for sale. Why are you selling such a new car? I may be interested but you are a long way from me, I live in Georgia.

 

Maaaan, why did you get lapis blue on PW?! If it was cordoba beige, i'd be all over this one...

 

Wes - what the hell are you doin' selling your MCS!?

I've seen your list of vehicles owned, and it seems to me that you have trouble commiting yourself to a relationship with any automobile. How long do you think you'll keep your truck? 4 - 6 months tops, I'd wager. The Grass is Always Greener, I know...but, don't you think it might be time to settle down and enjoy a vehicle for more than one oil change?

 

I've sent you an email. I am interested in your Cooper S.

 

Unless you have a REALLY crappy job, why not just save for a while and get enough in the bank so you can go unemployed for a few months without losing your shirt. If you are living so close that you can't get ahead, you have other issues. But if you want to drive something decent, you are always going to be paying either for parts and repairs or a car payment. Take it from a guy who has 4 cars, 2 with payments, 2 without. The 2 without payments eat up cash on parts pretty quick.

 

You wanted it? You got it. Here's the deal:

I work at my father's company. Nothing wrong with that, in concept. I make a decent enough salary ($55k last year), and I don't have to work evenings or weekends.

The problem is that, and those of you working at family businesses know my answer alreaady, I work at my father's company. I answer directly to him. I have to deal with his tantrums, and bad decisions, and generally sorry-*** combination of Russian stubbornness and German temper.

Three weeks into January, coming off the tail end of a failed relationship, it struck me that unless I did something with life, I would forever be stuck where I was, putting up with the same ********, dealing with the endless parade of human debris that I call "customers", forever living in a never-ending cycle of ***-kissing and ***-covering. It's pathetic to grasp for security at an age where I still have enough mobility and flexibility to take risks. Unless fate has me slated for an early bullet, I'm going to have a lot of time on this planet.

If I keep plugging away at work, I imagine that by age 40, I'll be losing my hair, going home at night to watch ESPN, swooning over sweet-and-sour pork, bitching about property taxes, and writing to my congressman over something offensive on TV. Honestly, I'd rather end myself right now than live to see that future come to pass.

So while I can, I'm doing something about it. I told the old man that I'd be quitting. This fall I will be a full-time student. ("What for" is, frankly, none of your business.) It may take me ten years, and I may be at a disadvantage over younger students, but I will become what I've always wanted to be.

Is that better?

 

Parklife, sounds like the right thing to do. Best of luck.

Bravo!!
It's your life, so live it!
As Mr Hendrix said, "I'm the one that's gonna have to die when it's time for me to die... so let me live my life the way I want to."
Too bad the MINI can't come along, though.

 

whoever purchased this.... GREAT CHOICE AND GREAT BUY!!! enjoy yourself with it and welcome to NAM, as for Parklife, good luck to you!

>>So, for now, I'm going from a small, great handling car to a truck which feels like I'm piloting an air mattress down the road.

I drove my truck for the first time today in about a month. I'm sorry to say this but you are going to be SO disappointed you got rid of the Mini. What's done is done so I suggest you go place an order on a new Mini. I went for a drive when I got home just because the Mini looked sad that I was gone with another woman.
