MINI Mama
Well, this weekend I did the deed. I went down to my friendly neighborhood MINI dealership and put a car on order. The cars are backordered until November, but at that time, I will be the proud owner of a 2006 MINI Cooper! The color, you ask? Purple Haze of course! This will make my third purple car in a row. It's my first new car, too!
Below is a picture that shows what my new car is going to look like. It is based upon the actual build I chose, so it's legit. Check it out:
It's so cute you want to crush it! Only... please don't.
I had originally chose the color of
electic blue... it's such a fly color. Unfortunately, mere hours before my first trip to the dealership, I learned that this color was discontinued for the 2006 model year. We searched for local dealerships with the car I was looking for. We found one down by D.C. (in Maryland, actually), but they didn't want to give it up, since it's the last of its type. The Boy and I considered making an adventure of it and going down to the dealership to purchase the car. In the end, we decided it was just too much of a hassle and yesterday we went back to the dealership to put in our order.
Now it's just a waiting game. Within a couple of days, I will get a link where I can track my MINI's progress through the build process. Expect regular updates on the status.
I'm so excited I could scream!
