I love cars. I love car shopping. The dealer experience right now is enough to make me consider a new hobby. That’s saying something given how bad it was before.

My grandson has started pitching again after his Tommy John surgery 18 months ago. He’s up to 85 mph fast balls with no pain or reinjury. Baseball coaches expect him to be up in the low to mid 90’s by the time the season starts.
He’s had every opportunity a 21 year old young man can have to realize his dream. Now it’s up to him and God. He starts his senior year next month with the coaches expecting him to be their star pitcher.
At least he has a plan B set up with a major in Kinesiology. I pray for him every day that he can realize his dream.

We've bought two - does that earn us anything?I mean, I kid, but really, you've probably generated more total revenue for Mini USA than at least a third of the marketing department. They should at least give you the tenth one free.Has Mini given you the punchcard yet?
Congrats!
I learned early on in my friendship with @breld that I'll never be able to keep up.

In @breld's company, yes. It earns you a badge of shame.
Slacker.

Though, I have bought one more Subaru than he has.

For those keeping score at home, I thought that perhaps @breld's purchase of two vehicles in a single week's time was unusual, but the Google doc appears to show two other instances of him making two punches in a single week, as well as two instances of two punches in a single day.We don’t call him the king for nothing!!

Quick pic of the interior of the Mini - really nice gray leather in contrast to the mostly plain black interiors in the minis. That went a long way in sealing the deal.

So wife and I went up to Greeley, about an hour north of where we live, to check out the red GTI and were pretty much set on buying it.
After test driving it, we told them we were gonna go check out a Mini at a nearby dealership but would probably be back.
Well, we never made it back.
