True Believers Need Only Drive It.....Not Rationalize It

 

This isn't a reason to buy one, but for me it was a reason to give it a hard look (then buy one). Didja look at other car manufacturer's websites? Ho-hum, I thought. It was kind of like watching TV where everything is an ad and there's really not much unique. When I went to the MINI website, I cackled out loud like a madman! It was one of the most unique, creative and downright FUN websites I'd ever been on. I was there for a couple hours. It made me think maybe the car was worth some serious consideration. After reading posts on here, I realize the MINI is not without its potential faults, but I liked the car and the feel and the low-key time with my MA and the future fun so much, by golly, I ordered one!

 

Amen to that!

 

+1 and Amen to that. Thank God my company connection to the net exceeds 45Mb/sec most of the time. I woulda lost a full week.
