This ia a prayer to the car god

"Please god I have been pretty good threw out my life. Ive had my ups and my downs but please grace us future mini owners that will be getting our minis in April, the chance to also get the same amazing incentives that the lucky buyers in March where able to get. We all promise to be good for a good couple of weeks, if you are able to grant us this one wish. I could do alot with the money saved like get the two new packages that are being offered (Convienence+mini connected and the jcw package) except without all the jcw logos all over it cause nobody likes a poser. So please God who i am assuming has a everything done to it jcw with every mod possible. I know you love your mini.. so let me love mine... at a cheaper price with more stuff done to it.
Amen

P.s sorry about the title. totally didnt see that

When you talk with yourself, you always get the answers you want.

Force yourself means just that, put out some effort towards your goals and you'll be surprized at the results.

Achilles honor... dude you need to get your car already. You are "jonesing" big time.

You might also be the winner of "the person with the most posts before actually having their MINI" award.

Hey Achilles honor, the ONLY incentive is that it's a MINI! I paid full price and don't mind one bit!

That's always a good tactic - gets them every time. But I was getting a top of the line JCW so it didn't make sense to barter. I'm getting them to do some black outs for me too.

I hope your prayer comes to fruition but may I ask why you guys chose Automatics? Just curious... the paddle shifters sound like fun.

Well, for me personally I do quite a bit of city driving, so a manual is a huge PITA. I love manuals, but they are fun sometimes, and a PITA other times. An automatic is only not fun sometimes, but otherwise you'd never notice.
