Another benefit of a MINI

I saw a blog post recently that was mentioning how overfilled the landfills in the States would be if everyone cleaned out their garages and I had to admit that I fall into that category. I promised myself that I wouldn't buy a snowblower until I could get one of the cars into the garage. My old car, a '99 Cougar wouldn't fit.

So what did I do? Did I clean out the garage? Of course not. I bought a MINI. Fits in the garage with a foot to spare. Time to get that snowblower .

I would have posted a picture, but it's really just too embarrassing.

Thats a great story. I knew I wanted a MINI as well way back when we got our first and the deciding factor was it fit into our garage with much room to spare and boy am I glad on our decision.....we now have our second MINI on the docks waiting for a cruise!

My parent's garage was something like that when I was in high school. At first a Citroen DS21 fit. Then only a 1957 Alfa Romeo Sypider would fit. Then no cars would fit at all.
