I'm a painting contractor and I have to drive a full size pickup for work,at 10 miles per gallon and $3 per gallon it was hard to justify driving around when I got home.My wife has an honda accord and with 3 boys It's rare that she's not driveing them around to various functions.I was searching the internet for cars with good mpg but could not see myself in a Toyata Yaris.Then on Yahoo cars I was looking at the green cars and saw the mini was second best non hi bred.I always loved the mini even as a kid,and would tell people if I did'nt have to drive a truck it's what I would drive.Yes it;s twice as much as the yaris but at 47 ether I'm going to get the car I want now or I probably never would . It's not my main car insurance was only going to be $50.00 a month extra.The S seemed like alot more car for the $ so it's what I got .2007 S Manual, Laser blue white roof & mirror caps ,17"crown spoke ,interior piano black ,color line dark grey and arm rest.I bought it of the lot for msrp plus $70.00 rubber mats.I cant stay out of it and always looking for excuses to drive.I pine for it when I'm at work.Hears hopeing for a long love affair.
