Looks like my much beloved truck, Bubba Jane, may be headed to the eternal gas station in the sky. She was supposed to be a temporary vehicle and I ended up driving her for over 7 years. Anyway, I'm starting to look for a new (to me) used car and I'm considering a Mini Cooper base, or S model and wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts on it.
I know there are some car guys here and since GeekHack is chock full of wisdom, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
FWIW, I'm only looking at the models after they replaced the engine. I think that's 2008, but the ones near me are all 2011 and later.
Also, I don't have kids, large pets, or the need to haul anything but my dumbass and a bunch of 60% boards. ;-)
Thoughts?
