    a dead battery. Welp, it looks like there may be an "S" parked in our garage very soon, but don't panic, it will belong to my wife........Justa Jim still rides. :lol:

    That is an extreme measure for a battery replacement. You can pick up a battery from pep boys & save thousands.... ;)

    Did I mention she is currently driving a 2001, Ford Explorer, with almost 200,000 miles on it? It gets gallons to the mile, rather then miles to the gallon. :D

    Sadly, you are right. I laugh every time I see one of those. I guess they must be kidding someone. :D

    Congratulations, another sensible 2 MINI family. :)

    You will like the CM in the snow, our ALL4 is really better than our Jeep.

    I would suggest the NM exhaust upgrade, still trying to figure out how to sneak that one on the wife's CM, I did update the exhaust tips, now I need the rumble. :devil:

    That is good to know Don. We need the 4WD for snow, but mainly muddy fields. For some reason Horse Shows rarely have paved parking lots. :nonod:

    I don't think I'll get away with much modding on her car, but you never know. The MINI thing may catch her, as it has me. :D

    Check with Way, I'll bet they've solved that problem already. I'm still philosophically challenged over the CM concept but it is a very nice looking motor. Hope it gives your co-pilot as much fun as you've had with yours.
