10 Things I LOVE About My Car!
Having recently hit the
half-century…can you think of a better excuse to celebrate my late-life crisis
than with a “New-to-Me” vehicle? I think not.
1.
Two words… “Mini Cooper”.
2.
It’s fun to drive.
3.
It’s got racing stripes which make it go even faster.
4.
Its color is conducive to hiding the dirt.
5.
It’s good on gas although it does take the high-octane stuff.
6.
It’s a standard so J2 doesn’t know how to drive it…yet.
7.
It has “Hill Assist” so I don’t have to use the emergency brake or burn
out my clutch on steep hills.
8.
It’s roomy enough for 4 people as long as everyone is not over 6’ tall
(or 3’ wide for that matter).
9.
Its speedometer is large enough to see without my readers.
10.
It’s SUPER cute and we women know just how important THAT is!!!
Cute car! Racing stripes make the car go faster, huh? Lol.
ReplyDeleteYa-huh...why else would you have them?!?!? ;P
Deleteyou are my hero and I think love you.
ReplyDeleteI swear, it's not just for your car :)
Haaahaaaahaaaa...I've heard THAT one before! ;P Getting old has some advantages.
DeleteNo kidding, that car is the coolest combination of cute and sporty - love the stripes!
ReplyDeleteThat this mean I have a "cool" factor too??? Never been told that before. :D
DeleteIt IS super cute! Yes, the stripes are good and MUST make it go faster ;)
ReplyDeleteRight??? Why else would they call them "racing stripes".
DeleteI drove one once and was blown away. They are too cute but a great car to drive. FAST! Love your car choice!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first car I've picked since the very first car I bought waaaaay back when. Hubs was way more into cars so let him pick. This time...can honestly say I love my car! Superficial, old or both?!?!? =D
DeleteLove it! I adore the colour, and that the racing stripes make it go faster. My son really wanted my husband to get a mini coupe when he bought our new car a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteIt's a ton of fun to drive but not really a "road trip" kinda car for more than 2 people. For that we still use have our trusty Highlander.
DeleteI'm all for a cute car! Love it:)
ReplyDeleteGotta compensate for the age somehow right??? ;P
DeleteThat is an awesome car! I love that it is a standard. Those are way more fun to drive!!
ReplyDeleteI love driving standard too as long as it's NOT in rush hour traffic! UGH!
DeleteLove your car and of course racing stripes make it go super fast! When can we go cruising around?
ReplyDeleteThanks Robbie! I'll pick you up after work on Friday. It's only a few thousand miles away right and with 2 stripes...I should be there in no time. ;P
DeleteAh it is super cute!!! My old boss who was 6'5" bought one and he fit in it. It was funny watching him get in and out though
ReplyDelete6'5"...obviously nobody sat behind him. ;P I would like to see him get in and out too!
DeleteThat is SO awesome that you have a mini cooper. I love them but for sure couldn't fit all of my stuff in there.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely not a family vehicle. We have an older Highlander for things like grocery shopping or longer road trips. :)
DeleteRock on with your awesome self! They look like SOOO much fun! I haven't even ridden in one but I just know I would love to drive one!
ReplyDeleteWould you believe I had never ridden in one before either??? I wasn't even going to test drive it but my girlfriend insisted. Ha! Hey...if you like what it looks like...what difference does it make?!?!? :D
