Was wondering about all the "snow tire" talk. Can't we at least enjoy our month or so of summer first rooandren?

I like to plan ahead, what can I say? I've already picked out the hose and the nice self-contained spool for hose that I'm going to get when we move into the new place with a driveway. Because like a child, I needed to give Mia something to look forward to make it feel like it's her new place too.

LOL!! Thanks guys!

Will be picking her up a 4 pm. Pics to follow.

rooandren... Talking about personalized plates (as they call them in MN) otherwise known as vanity plates. Still trying to narrow it down. Am hoping that when I see my baby that will help.

OK, I was just confused as I woulda thought you woulda needed that sorted out by now. You're not gonna share the potential names? Or is it like baby names and you don't want people stealing them and/or critiquing them!

Do you notice the hands on the clock moving slowwwer and sloooooowwwwwerrrrr yet?

Excellent, those are all great! I particularly like WHOOOSH and LIL QT, if you like to embrace the cuteness

Thanks.

Am torn between highlighting the zippiness and the cuteness. No way to get around it Minis are cute.

Well I think they all do a good job of both, cos inevitably the cutsiness is invoked by such a plate in the first place!

LOL! Ouch... So they are only ok for a chic huh?

What would you suggest for a girl you doesn't want her plates to being obviously feminine?

I still really like WHOOOSH, which is pretty neutral, and SWEEET is evened out by its illusion to Eric Cartman

You can always install a gun rack above the boot privacy shield thingeee...that would even it out as well.

I wonder if any other make of car has a lower percentage of gun ownership than MINI.

LOL! That would work.

Might be able to get WHOOSH some one has it but it hasn't been in circulation since 2005 so unless he wants to use it he will have to give it up.

Also could have LV2MTR and TOO FUN.

The beetle perhaps?

Am thinking most proponents of little cars are pretty liberal and anti-firearms.

yea, I was thinking across the whole make of car--which I guess makes MINI a cheat, as they don't sell Beetles and Passats. Don't be fooled by them Prius folks though, that is catching on across demographics, at least from what I've seen personally.
