The half I was speaking of atrophied years ago.

But the other half knows the difference between pavement and a ditch. So I figure I'm good.

Yes, I think most civilized states have a "Lemon Law" by now. However, it doesn't apply to me. Keep mocking my car, see what happens.

Baker, your sig is cracking me up. I think you should buy the rights to www.miniservicesucks.com. You, me, and GMINI could take MINI down. I see our newest member posted a lovely commendation of New Country. So sweet, so innocent, these newbies.

Crack? Did someone say crack?


Anyway, my dear friend Josh, what we are trying to say in our own eloquent way is what a very wise sage stated, er, wished for, right at the end of this article:

http://tinyurl.com/8rxrx

I myself will sing Peabody praise, they treated me as best as they were able. But not many owners are willing to drive 2.5+ hours for routine service on their vehicles. I'm not sure if you've offered to transport No from mid CT to Peabody yourself, I've only done the CT to Herbie for her. Quite the haul. But I guess it's "motoring", so it must be good, huh?

I do have issues with the quality of the build of the car, and I can gather up many more people that will agree. I can also gather quite a few people that will speak of the quality of service sliding downhill at a pace that is worrisome, whether it be at Peabody, New Country, Herb, etc. Read through the article, how many of the techs named are still there at Peabody? Why the turnover? What skill level they been replaced with?

I still have mine. 2.5 years old, 80,000 miles. Paid off in full. Insurance dropped to minimum. At this time, it makes sense to keep it a little longer, while crossing my fingers that the transmission doesn't blow out again. Or I lose any more valves. Or the wiring harness doesn't bite the dust.

Don't take MINI down my ass. Don't take No for a ride. Do what's right for the customer.

I think that's my next sig...."MINI....don't take No for a ride".
