MINI cred? traded in 4 day old car

Do I get any MINI cred for hating my brand new VW Golf GTI enough that I traded it in 4 days after buying it, to instead get my fourth MINI?

Having just passed a mile-post 0-ending age, I don't want to drive a car I hate for another four years (my average for a car). I literally bought the VW on Monday and traded it in on Friday. I'm not gonna bother mentioning the VW to my Mom at all. She would not understand.

Yeah, I took a bath on the costs, but I didn't want to drive a car I hated when I could be having FUN instead. I got an S-Clubman automatic, used, which isn't nearly as fun as the S-Justa manual I had been driving, but at least it still feels like a MINI. (I went larger so I can sleep in the back, at need.)

That VW had bricks instead of shocks! It expected me to go 2 mph over any bump, including pot holes that I couldn't see before I got there. I just couldn't ..... MINI sales gal looked at me funny, till she drove the VW over speed bumps to park it, and then she agreed that the shocks were crazy.

I'm trusting youz guyz here to understand.
