My new MINI!



Got a great deal b/c this was a year old leased car of one of the employees at the dealership. It is fully loaded and tons of fun. I will put a list of features below. I just want to again Praise God for providing. I have amazing parents, family, and friends who support and are excited about this decision. I am so blessed to be able to own my dream car. This is the second time in my life I have gotten exactly what I dreamt about (which is why I am up so early doing this post).

Features
Hyper Blue Metaliic Exterior
Black Bonnet Racing Stripes
1.6L Supercharged Engine (168HP stock, but there are some other upgrades to it as well- I'll have to go to the dyno to see how much it really has.) Panther Leather Seats
Hyper Blue Dash and Door Inserts
Rain Sensing Wipers and Auto Headlights
Heated Washer Jets, Mirrors, & Front Seats (Not sure how useful that will be in California)
Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof- tinted (Windows are tinted too... which is a nice touch)
Automatic A/C
On-Board Computer
Dynamic Stability Control (makes you be able to take corners without applying the brakes)
17" Alloy Run Flat wheels
Xenon Headlights
Steptronic Paddles (LIKE A RACE CAR!!)
Automatic Transmission
Chrome Lined Interior and Exterior
Parking Distance Control (beats faster as I get closer backing up to things)
Navigation System (that has a major learning curve- yesterday we were not driving where it wanted us to go... and was getting mad at us. "If possible, make legal U-turn now." It kept telling me. :)
Harman-Kardon 8 speaker CD/AM-FM stereo
4-year Warranties
Dinan Air Intake
John Cooper Works Stainless Cat-back
MINI Floormats

I think that is it. Trust me... it is enough toys for such a small car :)

WHY do you need Parking Distance Control in a MINI?! That has David and I laughing pretty hard. Navigation systems would always make me laugh at what they tell you to do.

It is so weird... it doesn't feel as small when you are in the car... so rarely has the parking distance control gone off. It is more a reminder to back up than to stop. :) Glad you are having a good laugh. Glad I have the British connect as well. Though the Tranmission was made in Germany and the engine in Brazil... it was all put together outside of Oxford ;)
