"A pig that doesn't fly is just a pig"

abbandonoAs of today, my new car is officially in the MINI ordering system and on its way to being built. I'll try not to bore you with all of the day-to-day minutiae, but thanks to the magic of the online tracking system there may be a few updates along the way.
Anyway, here's a look at my soon-to-be-born MINI as I configured it. Eugenics at work, baby!
It's a Cooper S (the faster 168hp supercharged version) Convertible, with lots of bells & whistles and chrome. It also has a Limited Slip Differential for extra auto-geek coolness and better handling in swervy situations.
People compare the handling to a go-kart, but my goal is to fly the thing as if it's a WWI airplane that just happens to be stuck to the ground. Go-go 7G turns!
The dealership was initially anticipating I might get it as soon as late February, but now it's looking close to mid-March.
The line forms here for top-down roadtrips. Warning: You must be taller than 32 inches to board this ride.
