sorry to see you go, but it is understandable when you get a car that may have been built on a monday or friday. if you ever get bored, you can always try again.

congrats on your new sled. It is real nice…
enjoy….

Traitor! Charlatan! Heretic!
Enjoy the new car. And thanks for all your efforts with the MINI Nav updates!

Tell me you at least pulled off a bunch of goodies to sell on NAM…

congrats on the new ride. very nice. It seems like the likely upgrade would have been a BMW, but a Lexus is real nice too.
enjoy

Agreed Ian. This car will remain as close to its original form as possible. I have had my toy and learned a lot from putting money into modding.

All toys, mods, parts, wheels and such will be posted tonight or tomorrow on my blog and NAM for sale. The 8ball is already spoken for sorry.

Hey, good luck with the new car. It looks really nice. I will say that I’d enjoy a bit smoother, luxury ride that my S just doesn’t give me but for now I’ll endure. When my knee gives out from old age I’ll trade to an automatic big boat that all the other old people drive. lol I think you are a smart guy to realize that you have a lot of years to own cars. Might as well try out several. We’ve owned many cars, and reality is….. they are just cars (don’t you DARE let it be known on NAM I said that! lol). They are there for you to enjoy and own, not be owned and dominated by them. Enjoy the new ride!

Mark, that’s one ugly car!

I think some of your complaints in this post (cost of replacing a damaged bumper, tire replacements) will apply as much to any car you own …

But honestly, I still think at least a part of the MINI issues you had can be attributed to your aftermarket mods – so maybe you should learn and leave the Lexus un-modded (at least under the hood)!

So what will you do with this blog?

Well I understand. The Lexus are one of the best. MINI had better get their shit together with a few things or they will become extinct.

I liked coming to your site and your rants but not really into a Lexus driven site, nice as the cars are, so bye.

Wanna sell that 8ball? Give me a shout over at my email address.
