Do you mean the thing in the Configurator that is called the Boot Box -- nylon covered with dividers that are adjustable with Velcro? I have it. Excellent for about four grocery bags or small packages.

She never looks at NAM. She likes to ride in the Mini on the weekend, but can't understand the fascination with NAM. Go Figure!

A girl she works with has a Mini, she wants to take mine to work one day, that sounds like a slippery slope...

Get a dog. Preferably a big one what will slobber all over your leather(ette)...

Guess that's what I get for listening to the audio-book "Marley and Me." Pretty funny, actually!

Have a spoiled cat named Munchie, actually the Mini is named after the cat, which is short for Munchkin!! Don't think the dog would work. I can see the cat now

Fate can be cruel

Well after all the anguish over what to spend the $200 on, the vacuum decided it needed repair. I decided instead of repair, I opted for a high end canister vac and dropped the 200 plus some on that. Did spring for the glove box organizer anyway. Thanks for all the advice.

Robin, I am still in the near future going to try the DICE unit. I'll let you know how that works. Time for taxes and that huge bill, then later a rebate!!

Thanks to all..

Oh, and by the way, the owner of the small vac shop is an elderly gentleman who runs it with his wife. He commented on how much he like the mini. Then he showed me what he drives, a new Shelby GT mustang!!! He must sell a lot of vacuum cleaners.
