Dang Doug! I only spent $160!! Of course I havnt gotten my cotten towels yet, but I figure that will give me a chance to get into my car and motor to the store.
I think its a wise decision. I mean, look how much you paid for the car, you want it to look good and to maintain the paint and especially the convertible top. Yeah , $350 is a lot up front, but if over time it saves you from having to any major paint or repair work to the top, its a good investment.

I'll have to take BradB's marriage advice from the Detailing forum and sacrifice some of the MF's to household duties. However, with this outlay, the wife will be expecting me to be the one using them to clean the house!

Thanks guys! I spent about $120 or so on new detailing supplies (Sonus MF towels, more Klasse, etc), so when she questions me on it (and she will), I'll be able to say I spent a lot less than you two. I appreciate the help.
Andy, you're not looking too well. I think you should leave work early. hint. hint.

I am leaving early at 3:00, or as soon as my ride shows up, probably around 2:45 or so. GAH!! It feels like i am sleepwalking today! at least one of my coworkers called out today, that way I have more work to do to keep my mind off things. Yeah, I can keep my mind off of my MINI. Psh.

YAY!! I am home! It went VERY well!
Just got home, dusted the MINI off, kicked the SUV out of the garage and put His Royal highness to bed.
After we picked up the MINI, which had a full tank of gas we motored through Tacoma to go around traffic and then beat my firend to my dads house who tried to go through the freeway. Took my dad and my best friend around some twisty roads and to be truthfull, His Royal Highness wanted to take the twists MUCH faster than my foot was willing to. I kinda heard him calling me chicken... Then drove to dinner. Passing Wal*Mart, saw a CR/W MINI waiting for the light. My partner, in true navigator mode, pointed this out to me. As I was accelerating out of the light, I flipped a wave out the window and she waved back!!!
After dinner, back on the "motorway" as the nice british lady of the Nav says, and back home. It was fun speeding out of the rest area on the way home!
Now, I want to stay up cause I am still pumped and really can't believe I have him already! I do NOT want to go to work tomorrow, but I guess that I will go out for lunch and take a late afternoon Starbucks break.
I love love love this car! WOOT!

It's too early or I'd show more enthusiasm. Someone please explain God's sense of humor to me. I don't get the part about kids waking up at 5:45am being fun(ny). Must go get more coffee.

Congrats AndyWSea. I hope the Earl can teach you that the right foot stays down. I have the same problem. I have been a dirt tracker (pitch 'er sideways and steer with the throttle) all my life and have a very hard time not lifting on a front wheel drive.
..Gods sense of humor. hide my car for two weeks in a dealers cell block.......

I know, I know, breaking my own rule, but there were pics from arrival! I promise as soon as I get home and wash him and give him a good coat or two of polish, there will be pictures.
When i got to work, there were signs around my desk welcoming His Royal Highness (yes, they actually said that). Been out to show him off once so far and I haven't really started yet. Looks like its gonna be a slow day today, its gonna be torture! :impatient
