I caught $20 while driving with the top down!
How's this for MINI Karma ?!?
While driving at 45 MPH in my Cabrio with the top down, I saw a piece of paper wisp up the bonnet and up the windshield, then linger around my antenna briefly. I grabbed for it and discovered I was holding a $20 bill!
My MINI knows me so well - she knew that if I'd seen that money I would've stopped for sure! MINI just doesn't want to stop - EVER!

MINI is telling you to spend that money on mods for her.
She's even
giving you money to do so. Now what are you going to buy her??

Have you considered notifying MINIUSA about this? Sounds like a promotional opportunity to me?
Hey...wait...where's that $20 bill I had stashed in my cupholder?

Knowing my luck, a penny would smack me in the forehead!
Maybe it's telling you to go get your car washed?

Hey - do I have to report this to the IRS? Are they watching this thread?!?
BTW - it's been spent on gas so MINI & I can
both enjoy the find.

So THAT'S what they mean when they say you get your money back when you own a MINI

How cool is that? So far no payback on the sunroof. But I will keep my eye out!

That IS a funny story! Just when your thinking top-down motoring just couldn't possibly get any better...this happens! Definitely "over-the-top!!"

What a great story! I think I'm going to have my sunroof open more often.
Did you already spend the bill? If not log it on
