| Well, I am a former BMW owner, a present classic Mini owner, and a very soon-to-be MINI Cooper owner. All I can say is that I love them all, except maybe the BMW which was an absolute hunk of crap. I believe that too many people confuse their identities with the type of car they drive, especially here in California. I have been a car nut for my entire life and I can honestly say that the new MINI is the coolest car ever. |
