new minis ha my friend just spent like 37k on a new mini with dual sun roofs and all the options plus the "crate motor" from them with a whole 210Hp and when he took my friend for a ride before i saw it they were both thinking it would beat my truck 
. so he calls me on the way to work and asks where i am at and i tell him, and he is right behind me 
. so when he catches up i take him from a forty roll with a downshift into second gear on my auto and show him what the business end of a chevrolet look like. he comes up again after i slow down and then tries to do it again i noticed when his car bucks and starts to go forward 
poor guy still did not stand a chance and got mad and turned off pretty fancy looking though especially with the two sunroofs. plus on the way home from job number two and getting ready to go to job number one i had an eclipse like a mid 90's model with a guy and his G/F in it and he would not stop embaressing himself any who though you might like to hear thanks for reading

**** for $37K you could have gotten an 05 GT, or hell even a 350z, and had several grand left to mod either one. or a brand spankin new 04 Cobra.
Or, you could have gotten THREE used F-bodies.
Or, you could have gotten THREE used F-bodies.
Or even a used Z06 or new C5 leftovers... or even a 04/05 GTO [unless 05s have been "Market Adjusted"
] What a waste of $$$ !.. And the Mini looks like a chick car, just like the Eclipses
Plus, they're so "Miniature" I'd get claustrophobic inside! 
and I'm only 5'11 
Personally, for $37K I'd be in a Corvette!!.. Style, Luxury, Handling, Stance, Performance, Sporty.. list goes on!!
