There's a guy I know who goes to my mom's church (his wife was also my principle) who restores Miatas and old RX-7s. For awhile now, he's had an old Mini sitting in his driveway.

Man that thing is small! It looks like you could build one with random junk in your garage. There is hardly any matter there. I think someone could fabricate one from scratch.
As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

Voted with my dollars for the first gen new MINI...might consider a vintage with the Vtech conversion.
2006 Lexus IS350 - bone stock wouldn't change a thing
2006 MINI Cooper S - For Sale!
2002 Toyota Tacoma - A man and his truck, it's a beautiful thing!

I will own an old Mini some day.  I won't own an R56, so I know which one I'd take.  The problem after I have the money will be finding the LHD model to buy in the US.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

She'll hate diesel passenger cars, all things Ford, and fiat currency.  They will masturbate to old interviews of Ayn Rand an youtube together.
You can take the troll out of the Subaru, but you can't take the Subaru out of the troll!
