Got my MINI this evening!

And as was probably to be expected the car exceeded all of my expectations. The transmission is phenomenal, the Navi actually wasn't too complicated, and Laser Blue was definitely the right color choice. I was second guessing my color choice all the way until I took delivery of the car but as soon as I saw it in person, I fell in love. It was already dark so I didn't get to take any pics, but I'll definitely take some tomorrow!

Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats driving your Mini off the lot. It was certainly one of the greatest moments of my life!!!

Congrats and welcome to the ever-so-wonderful world of Mini
