    You are lucky you have those subs back there. Otherwise there'd have been more shopping. :wink:

    Looks like yesterday I motored into a kicked up piece of gravel. I now have a windshield crack high up by my rearview mirror.

    The good news is that it's long enough that a replacement will be required, so I'll get new glass for the cost of my insurance deductible! There were a couple of chips in it when I bought it and it will be nice to see those go.

    Took a nice leisurely drive with the MINI, wife and dog out old US40 west.... Went over to Urbana Ohio.... Stopped at Crabill's and had some of their double cheeseburger sliders.... Been wanting to eat here for about 5 years and never had the time.... Washed them down with an old fashioned Stewart's root beer. Tasty

    Next stop.... Yellow Springs.... Home to all the aged hippies that went to Antioch....

    Specify you want the PPG glass. It's a nicer windshield than OEM.

    Make sure they replace the A Pillar covers too. Reusing the old ones often causes one to fly off later on down the road.

    Installed my new RMW coolant tank to replace my ORIGINAL one that lasted 151k miles before it started leaking at the seam like they all do...
    Lubed my rear suspension bushings, attempting to quell a squeak.
    Re-installed my passenger seat so I can haul a passenger (if I need to)... and so I look like less of a psycho than I did driving around a Mini cabrio with one seat in it.

    Removed my ScissorXL smartphone mount and installed my new CravenSpeed XXL Smartphone mount.

    For the record... the ScissorXL held my Galaxy S5 by itself with no issue. But the second you put any kind of a case on the phone, you are SOL.

    Sprayed this into my intake today. Hopefully that stupid annoying random hesitation/misfire/stumble will go away. I drove it for 30 minutes after carefully following the directions and it seems to have worked.

    I am always tickled as to how much cargo can be stuffed in my Coupe! Over 300 bucks from Costco packed in the boot, 30 pounds of dog food on passenger seat with a case of Summer Helles, gym bag. I love my MINI :)
