Hey, hey.

I'm a design engineer, graduated from RIT in May and just bought a 2007 MINI Cooper S 6-spd manual.

Since I was 15, I've been banging around in Jeep Cherokees and seeing they break all the time, I've learned to turn a wrench or two. Now that I have money to buy something nice (and can afford the speeding tickets ), I picked out the MINI Cooper S for my first fun car.

I'm currently hailing from Charlotte, NC and in my spare time, when not geeking out over cars and visiting autocross events, I climb and do roller derby with the girls here.

Are there many/any MINI gearheads down this way?

- Naito

Thanks. He graduated in May? Huh. There's a chance I know him then. I'm one of the ten girls RIT had in their Mech Engineering graduating class heh.
