Nope, I have had Mini, BMW, Saab, Subaru, Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, Mazda, Dodge, VW and Hyundai. If Mini would go back to a R53 or smaller, I could see myself going back to Mini.

Pure poetry. Doug should write a book!

Florida, that explains it!

My wife had a CVT Mini Cooper. When the CVT died at 120k, we sold it for only 2k. I hear it eventually was stripped for parts and used as a Lemons racer. From what I hear, i’d be surprised if any CVT Minis were still operational.

671,000 on a Mini!

I had the privedge of meeting him in the late 1990s. We were organizing a wild game dinner for charity. He met with us in his office and we invited him to come, but he declined, due to a scheduling conflict. He said “y’all wouldn’t want me there anyway, having me there would make a mess I the place”.

I like that roof basket with the roll out dining fly! Where do I get one of those?

My 1990’s self would have gone apeshit, absolutely apeshit. There were rural Ohio kids everywhere wearing 3 hats and listening to NWA in their Chevy Berettas

AC/DC is rocking it’s way into the old men’s cruiser tape players as well.

The two others that came to mind that I didn’t see on here was the Toyota F1 team. They spent the money like the big boys and hired the right people, but no tangible success.

Here in Sarasota Florida, the ATS is Camrylike.

When someone tells me that , I always ask if they would date the mom from Honey Boo Boo before Halle Berry. Shuts them up pretty quick.

I know what you mean. In 2004, my wife talked me into getting her a new Ford Explorer that was MSRP $32,000 for only $20,000 after rebates. She somewhat liked it and I didn’t like it at all, but for more than 1/3rd off MSRP, I was like “why the hell not”. I hated that piece of shit up to the day the flat-bed took it…

Are you from Ohio? That’s a perfect description.

Hierarchy of Vettes in Sarasota Florida:

That top looks like something concocted by the boys in a Top Gear challenge. If this is the cheapest 911, I’ll move on to dreaming of a 944.

When I run in 24 hour relay races, I have a hard enough time not screwing up at running a 7 minute mile pace. It's hard to fathom keeping it together in a race car.

Please, I've been wanting to hear about the worlds coolest FWD car.
