At least the MINI will have been paid off by the end of the Summer -> how are those of you who are almost there coping? Sorry for the post, needed to vent a bit...
Hang in there my friend. It has to end soon or you'll be in hospital instead of behind the wheel of your new car!!
Personally, now that I know where my car is and when it'll arrive I'm much more relaxed. Just don't send any hurricanes spinning in to the North Atlantic for the next 10 days

I'm in college, so used to the night shift, so to speak. And you'd hate to see the hours I work DURING school.
But now back to our scheduled program..."Days of our MINIs"

I am much the same (the relaxed part...)......... and I will be babysitting the grandkids ( "Topeka Red" , age 3 and "Queen" Maeve , age 2) in exotic Topeka Kansas when "Jenks" arrives at the dealership in Pittsburgh. Gives those good folks time to install the Aero, JCW Air Filter, and JCW Suspension kit while I'm happily busy being ridden hard and put away wet. I am intrigued about the "Invisishield" and will do some research on said accessory to see if it will also be added to the goodies.....then again, maybe all the protection I need is a big green triangle...............
Looking forward to seeing lots of pics of Mr. Bean and Ururks Mini soon, with their smiling faces as well........

I was completed on 7-20 and was scheduled for a ship leaving 8/5. Got bumped all around and ended on one that left 8/1.

Convenient excuse
My MA had a similar excuse, ururk. He's 'having surgery' tomorrow, so my MCS won't be ready until Wednesday. Some people have no concept of priority.
I'm ready to get my hands on my new MINI. I leased a MC about 18 months ago, totaled it an accident, and bought a Honda Accord in a moment of insanity. After coming to my senses just recently, I ordered my MCS in June, and am almost back in the MINI family!
Only 48 hours 55 minutes 12 seconds until pickup. WOOHOO!

As for the lease on my deceased Cooper, the leasing company takes out gap insurance, but it wasn't necessary as the value of the MC went down so little that I got a good bit of cash back. Also, it wasn't my fault. A lady in a Camry ran a red light, and I t-boned her doing about 40 mph. Got out with a few scratches from the airbag and a major adrenaline rush!

XXSML -did you ever get any help?
And in other unrelated news...
Kaloo Kalay, Oh Happy Day! The OL says my MINI is at the dealer! The EDD changed to 8/8, from 8/7. Yea! But I have some bad news: I probably cannot pick the MINI up until my MA gets back from vacation, which is next week . I shall instead focus on important things - like work, getting things done around the house, vegetating by playing flash games all day.
