We didn't get a stimulus check, but we decided to do our part to help the US economy anyway. A couple of weeks ago we drove to Memphis and bought a MINI Cooper S. We (i.e. Bob) had looked at one for a long time and talked to several MINI owners. However, there isn't a MINI dealer in Arkansas; so off to Memphis we went. Luckily, the MINI only needs to be serviced every 12,000 miles (uses synthetic oil). We won't need to go to Memphis every 3 months for servicing. Here are a couple of photos of MINI:
MINI has a 6-speed manual transmission and is a fun car to drive. It corners great! A gas mileage check of the second tankful averaged out at 33 mi/gal - not bad for a mixture of highway and "village" driving. See ya'll on the road!
FYI Rosie calls the car "Mini Me".
