    My wife thinks I am an idiot for other reasons but my car is not one of them.

    She like it, but does not like to ride in it. :rolleyes:

    JMC40, My wife thinks i'm crazy! I've been looking for a exhaust system for my R53, and listening to different ones on youtube for sound don't want the coffee can sound but a nice mellow rumble. She been making fun of me for it. But when we went to the Mini dealer and she picked out a new All4 whose crazy now, not me.

    You were an idiot for getting rid of your MINI last time! You are smart for getting another one.

    I guess I'm going to have to buy those snow shoes from you. Is there a special Old Fart senior citizen price? Can I use my Golden Buckeye card? :ihih:

    My wife called me an idiot for buying a MINI too, she wanted me to by a 'vette.

    I asked her what's worse, being an idiot, or marrying one?

    It was a rhetorical question, but it didn't stop her from answering it anyway.

    You didn't get raped, how about the seller? :ihih:

    A 6 CD changer? Weren't you the guy who just the other day said what's a CD? :lol:

    X lights are nice wheels. Take those S Heavies to the marina & sell them to the boaters as Anchors. I'd recommend S drives for tires.

    All funnin aside, nice MINI. Tell your lovely wife Babs thinks what you've done is wonderful. If you get kicked out of the house we have a spare room.

    One more thing, never leave your wife's car out so the MINI can be in the garage. :nonod:
