Salvaging the day

Rather than moping around the house halfheartedly cacking up my lungs, I mustered the energy to take the MINI all the way up to the Towson dealership for some warranty work that it needed. I had a little laundry list of mostly minor and cosmetic issues as well as two minor recalls involving emissions control devices. I have to say that of any dealership or other dealings regarding warranty work, Towson is the most efficient and accomodating. I also got a rather nice loaner car:



Too bad the weather today was teh sux0rz compared to yesterday, or I woulda been top-down wind-in-the-face-fur all the way home. It's not like I would have caught a cold or anything, since, well, I already have one apparently.

I am biased in some ways, but I really do like the cars. The current generation of cars have all the growing pains worked out IMO (though this fall the redesigned ones come out, back to square one with the growing pains... lol). They are incredibly fun to drive, unusually roomy (for two), get decent mileage, easy to park, and unlike cars that you option out in 'packages', almost every option is available 'a la carte', so you can put together a car unlike any other, and even save money in the process.
