While it was snarky, I was being serious. I myself am pretty clueless when it comes to the stock market so having a writer who knows more about it would be a good thing. As for why it was snarky, the whole didn’t-read-the-article-but-I’m-going-to-comment thing usually bothers me. Yes the author got that aspect wrong…

Assuming you haven’t seen one IRL, they look a lot better in person. Or maybe I just got used to them. 

I mean, they put out a call for pitches not that long ago. Get at it Mr. Stock-Market-Smarty-Pants, that smart writer could be you.

Neutral: I bought new in 2015 and 2017, won’t be buying new for a while as we work to buy a house and pay off student loan debt. 

Glad they are coming back, I checked their website after the last MINI article and was saddened to see 0 manuals offered. I kinda miss my 2010 Cooper S, despite it being an unreliable turd, at least it was a fun turd. 

You must be new around here. 

Does MINI even have a manual anymore? Unless I missed something, 2020 2 door S and JCW models of all trims don’t seem to have an option for it. Sacrilege!

If you get your flu shot, the likelihood of you coughing in the first place is lower. 

I just want a radio and a screen that runs Android Auto/Carplay so I can hook up my phone. 

Oof.

FWD based to boot? Rear engine with a driveshaft powering only the front wheels? DAMN YOU NISSAN!

We don’t deserve nice things apparently.

There’s always the old hatches I suppose.

Just curious why you are comparing used prices with new CX-30 prices.

Congrats on your soon to be offspring! GTI is definitely a possibility but if the next WRX turns out to be this it’d be my top choice. It would fit well in the stable next to my wife’s WRX sedan. 

Dad mobile because my current car is a Miata, which I plan to keep.

Problem with e-versions of those cars is that they aren’t designed to hold all those batteries so you end up with a top heavy vehicle with limited range. If you are spending all that money to re-engineer the car under the skin, why not slap some flashy sheet metal on top to really get people’s attention?

Not sure if you are pulling my leg but that’s a commonly used phrase I’ve seen on this site. With manual. Either way,gave me a good laugh. 

We’re at the point where EVs will become more and more prevalent, luckily my wife and I are in agreement to keep buying con manuel as long as we are able to. Commuter EV might be a thing in our garage at some point depending on finances though. 

If it brings the car stateside I don’t care what color it is, I’ll wrap the thing if I have to.
