When the Hubster bought me my first new car {he said it was mine so we had to go out and buy him one, too} I so wanted to put that on my license plate. 'MINE' or 'MYHNE' {cause they said for sure someone else would already have 'MINE'....I did see one with {however it was spelled out to fit} said "my escape" {I know that is too many but ya know...}

And, I am only 4.

So you get to wait 11 years till you can drive it, right?

Congrats on the new Wheels!

OOoooh, we drove one of those! It was an adorable little car! Congratulations on getting one!

Oooo... I got a package in the mail today from MiniUSA. All kinds of keen gear:

A blank journal
An "Unauthorized" Owner's Manual
A Toggle Switch Re-labeling Kit (Up Periscope, Ejector Seat, Oil Slick, etc)
Highway Bingo cards
Message flash cards
One of those "floaty" pens - where a tny Mini floats back and forth in the clear upperpart of the pen

I love my Mini!

I've always liked the Mini. A small and manueverable car seems like a much more fun experience than a huge SUV, though it might be a little scary to be towered over by other vehicles occasionally. Congrats!

Nice choice. I absolutely love the mini. Killer style, fantastically executed interior. Now ergonomics are not stellar, but who cares...all in the name of style. Love the toggles in the car. Handling is very nice...quite go-karty. If it was RWD as opposed to FWD, I would probably own one myself. That said I think I will be getting a Miata instead...but the Mini is an extremely tempting choice. And their marketing is fabulous. Your owner kit is just another example. They deliver on a very clear marketing message and are the absolute best in the industry at flawlessly executing said strategy throughout all mediums. They just drip with personality and have been succesfull at avoiding too much BMW influence.

Killer choice...killer.
