I have just recieved my copy of the AAA members mag "Going Places". On the inside cover is a pix of a mcs with the caption "The Mni-Cooper, AAA Cool Car for 2003."

Here is the online version for your reading pleasure:

"In a class by itself," no less...

Thanks a million! I LOVE this kind of press.

The great thing about the MINI...which has had so much hype...is that these writers get behind the wheel and the car just speaks for itself. No pretense. Ya gotta love a car more than lives up to...and exceeds...any hype that's out there. How many of us were thunderstruck by our first test drive...I certainly was.

I noted once before that I was ON MY WAY to order another car when I just happened into a MINI dealership here in Columbus O.

I was all GRIN when I was done. It took about a minute to make the decision.

Laurie and I were. It took me about a month to get her to go and test drive a MINI. The reason...she said if she drove it she would have to buy it (love at first sight). The last time I drove a car, got out and said "I have to have one of these" was in 1982. I took a DeLorean out for a ride. Never got one and I wasn't going to repeat the same mistake.

That is great!

But how much credibility do these awards have if they picked a Buick LeSabre in the $20k-$25k category.

Buick LeSabres are what Aztec buyers aspire to.
