I figure the MINI is about the same size as the crypt they put the coffin in... so, yes, I plan to be buried in my MINI. Maybe mummified sitting at the wheel, with a big smile on my face.
Other option is to have some friends drive my MINI on the Dragon and sprinkle my ashes out the sunroof!
Morbid? Maybe...but it doesnt hurt to plan ahead. Not that Im planning on dying anytime soon.

We're leasing, and already I'm planning what to do when the lease runs out... Hey, my arguement is that it's unlikely we'll find another one for the price of the buyout, and hey, mine will have all the mods already installed!
Barring mechanical failure or something unexpected, I plan to keep my car... I love it.

Who else will do the same with your Mini?

As for automotive coffins, I'd be just as happy being layed out in a classic Mini, but since I've permanently switched over to MINIs at this point that seems more appropriate....and the big smile is manditory, of course. I'd look more natural anyway!!

I generally belong to the school that says you should drive the damn thing 'till the wheels fall off. Just the other day I was riding around in the same 1985 BMW 535i that I came home from the hospital in when I was born (I'm 16). It's got 175,000 miles on it.
I have yet to actually get my MINI, and possibly this will change once I fall madly in love with it, but I plan to do a little stint in the air force (in Israel) after college and so I won't really have a need for a car for about 2 years, and since the MINI's keep their value so well, I should be able to get a pretty penny for it even 5 years from now. And I'm sure that I could use that money right out of college. Nonetheless, when I get back, sign me up for a '13 MINI turbo diesel!

- Ever see this movie Things Change? I said the same thing about my first sports car, a 71 240Z. Yeah, I kept it until ... things changed.

My only point is that .... "You don't know, what you don't know". There is nothing about planning in that. For all you know, and the Lord above pray it doesn't happen (no offense to ANY religion) ... Katrina II could come your way or some unforseen natural or manmade calamity OR middle age crisis OR Who knows?
In fact, an excellent question would be:
How many MINI owners have SOLD their cars once outside of warranty??? (buying another MINI is OK). It seems like many people do to avoid the costs of repairs?
