New Member, new Mini

Greetings!

After several months of reading, reviewing, and test driving I am now the happy owner of a 2013 Mini Cooper S Hardtop. Most of my friends are shocked as I traded in my Corvette, and they don't yet understand why these cars are so much fun.

Looking forward to learning more about my car and making new friends.

Hi Mgerv.

Awesome to hear about your new S. I also had a corvette, but sold it when I ordered my mini. It's on a boat right now and hoping to take possession of it in 2-3 weeks.

Enjoy the ride.

YES! Another Vette bites the dust!

Welcome to the world of small, fun cars. And I didn't even get mine yet, although my son has one~~

Glad I am not the only one who came from a Vette. First day driving it to work and heard all day long how no one could believe I would do such a thing. I'll be spending my lunch hours giving test rides so they will understand.

By the way I also have Mazdaspeed Miata and my Mini is the only thing puts the same smile in my face when I am driving it.

In order to "get" a Mini or a Miata you need to drive one, and not just a leisurely toodle around the block either!
