I just heard on the radio that the MINI was named "coolest car" in the Pittsburgh Auto Show. Hurrah to my fellow 'Burg motorists! = )

Yes....when they become as popular as a PT or a new bug

Exactly. We can be comforted that unlike the PT, the MINI has an incredible heritage. The VW is cool, just not my cup of tea.

Another unfortunate side effect of, "too cool," could be opening a second plant. I would hate to see them become common place.

But damn, it sure is cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was born in Pittsburg and I think my lungs still contain dirt from the air up there.

Orby Evidently it has been a long time since you were last here. Very little smoke now since most of the steel mills have been replaced by either shopping centers or office parks. Pittsburgh is a beautiful little city!

Oh, and please remember the "h" on the 'Burgh!

No more! I stayed in the "Station" area hotel, and walked over the bridge to tour the city. Beautiful, and very nice air. But then again, i am from NYC so I may not know any better!

I am going to be moving there in a few months. I first visited the City about 8 years ago and even since then it has cleaned up a bit and become a cleaner and brighter place.

Anyone want to help me unpack?
