I looked at the websites of a few dealerships, and the certified pre-owned Minis are really just a tiny bit less expensive than the new ones. The only ones that are really in my price range are the 2007 and earlier ones.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Our wings are not tired
Check and see if there is a Carmax around. A used Mini from Carmax could really be the way to go. I purchased my Mercedes, BMW, and both of the work trucks through Carmax and I really can't recommend them enough.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Hil - I worked for a BMW/Mini dealership for the last year or so we were in LA. I was primarily in the service department. If you want to know about the service on them or anything, let me know.

My oldest sister had another scan to see how her system has coped with the chemo. There's a new tumor, one that wasn't there in March, at the last scan.
No wonder she hasn't updated her medical status blog. She was feeling all hopeful and shit, too.
Dammit.

Oh Connie, hope this is just a temporary setback for your sister.

No Carmax in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or New York.

My brain, let me show you it: following a link to some luggage (because I continue to try to decide what the perfect luggage is) to Lands End, I decide it is not perfect, but end up thinking "Wait, what's that other place?? The one that is not Land's End, but not J Crew? With the stuff??"
Can anyone guess where my brain was trying to go? (I eventually figured it out)

LL Bean?

Ding! Yes. LL Bean was it. It took me a while to get to there in my brain though. I almost had to come here and ask (good to know someone could have helped!)
They do not have the perfect luggage for me, though. As far as I can tell.
