I can only go so far guys.. lol

It was already dark so I couldn't take a pic. So today I got the title, registration taken care of and I can drive the car now. So glad that it didn't take as long as what some people had estimated.

So I had to take a pic for you guys and for this milestone in my life (hopefully the mini feels the same way about me ). One day I'll be able to look at pics of her life and recall great memories.

I took her out today and did some spirited driving on some windy country roads (hard to find around here). Wow.. this car really handles better than I thought it would. I was taking lower speed turns with ease.

Ok, enough. The pic! BTW, I just realized it is the same angle in the pic I put up that the owner took. Sorry but I was here in the parking lot and it was hard to find an angle that didn't have tons of obstructions. Unfortunately I got the car and now I have to work 4 days of 12 hour shifts. Next week I plan to wash/wax, and hit some pavement. There are a few areas I may look into going. I'll be taking tons of pics when the opportunity arises.

Thanks to all who gave me advice!
