My Ride: 2006 titanium silver metallic
Like new 41k
Cold Weather Package
I got a green 2009 X3 today, get to keep her until mty car is ready hopefully tomorrow. They are doing a full software upgrade on my car but insist that my 05/05 MY06 can not play MP3's from the indash deck 
Im kind of pissed, guess I will just put an aux input in. i'm assuming the Aux should be cheaper to install now that my car will be at a current sw version.
They have a 2006 530XI on the lot that is CPO with only 39000 kilometers. I offered them my car plus $4g but they say they cant make enough money out the deal. Oh well, they could have had an easy sale, an extra car on the books then they could still make sum dough off of mine
I wish there were more choices up here!

So here's the Mini Du Jour!! 
And this one is an "S" model too! 
It's faster, with a tighter suspension and even more fun to drive! 
Just ask the driver of the new Audi A4 who PULLED OVER TO LET ME BY, on a freeway on ramp no less! 
I wasn't even pushing it! 
This is what the Audi saw in their rear view mirror...
It's Mini's version of Sapphire Black Metallic too...
Dual exhaust....
Nice leather interior....
Mini "S" detail...
More Mini "S" details...
And yet more Mini "S" details...
Nice little "Slot Car" wouldn't you say?...
Even a little roof spoiler on the back!...
And it makes my garage look bigger!!

This is getting even MORE out of hand!! So we managed to take one loaner back today, (the Convertible), but it was because it had mechanical issues....guess what we got as a loaner this time! 
At least the wipers work on this one!
Hey a different color interior!
Yadda, Yadda, Yadda!

Now my wife wants one of these as a third car!!
