    Okay, okay, okay. End of the work day and there's nothing going on here, so I've found a few pictures. First is the MINI in my driveway after tinting the window (a quick snapshot, nothing to be proud of as a photographer), second is of a black bear I encountered on my way to work one day (not the greatest). I've got tons of pics of elk if you'd prefer those...

    I know, the black bear picture isn't the greatest either. My girlfriend stole my camera and I had to use my cell phone, plus it wasn't that bright outside yet.

    You forgot to mention the "horny devil" that results from hitting a male of the species! :D

    Oh I'm not worried about colliding with him, I'm more worried about colliding with the stupid elk that are around here. Granted theres a chance the MINI is low enough to the ground that I just take out the legs from any elk and his belly slides across the roof (really hoping the sunroof is closed at that point):crazy:

    :cornut: Be advised that after taking out the legs(at highway speed), the body(with dangling legs) comes through(NOT OVER) the wind shield kissing the driver on the lips/chest and reseating him in the back seat. From experience working Emergency Room off and on x30yrs.:Thumbsup:

    Oh I've had the mod bug since I first bought my Xterra (done lots of mods to it, tons of offroading too).

    Don't plan to do all that much to the MINI though, most of the mods I'm planning are more than for just cool-factor.

    Doing my first MINI rally with the local club on July 30th, they're all coming out to Sunspot, NM (from El Paso, TX) to tour the National Solar Observatory and since I work at Apache Point Observatory (right next door to NSO), I'm going to give them all a VIP tour of our observatory (which is a science facility and we don't give organized tours).
