[Sparksalot]

Sir Mixalot is on my list.

Trivia….. The first mainstream rap song was introduced by the singer, Blondie….. “ Rapture “.
She said, she heard the style in New York City.

I added another critter to the stable. A 2015 Mini Countryman S.

Very low miles, so a while until the expensive maintenance arrives.

It seems to be optioned up to some degree. Now to figure it all out.

Yes it does.

Doesn’t every single car guy need 3 cars?

The Mini is meant to be shared with my daughter who is struggling since her mom has cut her off.

When ya gonna start off roading that baby?

 

[Tonyrodz]

Yes it does.

Mechanic told me those motors weren't great. Heard anything good or bad about them?

They seem to all need timing belts and other pricey stuff at about 100k. So I snagged this one since it only has 41K on it, many others were in the 65-80K range. I hope to kick that can down the road quite a while.

Themini came with one key. I want the kid to have a key plus a spare. I want a spare too.

None of these is the same as the others.

I bet those aren't cheap.

Well…. Depends on your perspective.

First one was $400, the second another $200. An underhood module has to be removed to program them.

That's expensive to me.
Interesting about the underhood module.

Me too. I had to buy one for thethirdtwin when I got it. That was $500 from the Chevy house.

I got themini keys from a key shop.

 

[Sparksalot]

Thethirdtwin is only 300 miles from satans century.

For the palindrome nerds.

Took it to the limit…

One last time.

In Wyoming last summer, a buddy noticed the rear crossmember for teardrop’s toungue was out of place. It survived the highway trip home. Then one quick weekend trip on pavement since then. The tear was not evident in Wyoming.

It’s dead Jim. Gotta find a replacement. Also back off the rougher roads while camping. I’m a little concerned that each time I replace a failed part, something bigger goes next.
