Getting a new car is always very cool. The family and I picked up the MINI Cooper S at the dealer Friday after 4 PM. It’s a fun car and over the weekend we put about 150 miles on it.
After driving an SUV for 6 years this will take a lot of getting used to.
It’s got
- Automatic wipers
- Automatic headlights (day running lights)
- Climate control
- Bluetooth phone integration (being able to press a button and say aloud “dial 12125551212” and having it actually confirm and dial that number is just too cool)
We took it over to a friend house and I let him drive me around his neighborhood.
Apparently I am a conservative driver. He was zipping around like you’d expect someone running around in a red MINI Cooper. Took this one corner with the tires screeching and got a “Please don’t do that again” from me.
The car is a lot of fun and I think I’ll actually enjoy driving to New Jersey in it.
