Drove around town a little and then had to get on the interstate to open it up a bit. Wow, 90mph sure does come very easily. I think I will need to watch myself very carefully so I don't get any tickets.
The MINI (that is what it is called in my house, I am not a car naming kind of gal) had 8 miles on it when I picked it up. I believe it now has 70 or so after 29 hours of ownership. I know, I should be ashamed of myself for not being a better motorer, but I did have to go back to work sooner or later.
I am planning on taking The MINI on a little road trip this weekend up to Iowa to visit my family. It is about 800 miles round trip. I want to get that break in period over as soon as possible.
I have already decided that I must order a Euro Parcel Tray for the extra storage. I think I will also be installing an Aux. input jack at the same time for my MP3 player. The only other thing that I know I want to do is get the windows tinted. That will be the first thing I do, probably next weekend.
Now that I actually have The MINI, I believe it was worth the wait. I will now probably be spending a little less time on the computer and more time motoring.

Those are exactly the items I added after purchase. I think the parcel shelf is the best purchase a MINI owner can make. The glove box organizer is handy and does keep your stuff from falling out when you open it. I will never buy another car without having the windows tinted. It helps so much with the AC, not to mention it looks great.
