I wish I could leave mine in the garage, but I gotta get to the train somehow. My MINI is now so filthy it makes me ill. I really haven't had any problems getting around except for high-centering all over the neighborhood. I wonder if could install a lift kit on my MINI and get the ground clearance up to around 8". Then I could put some monster truck tires on it and go help pull out stuck pick-ups from the ditch.
