bought an ‘05 mini cooper in late 2004. simply adore the thing. the handling is like that of a go kart, it’s sturdily built and, it can be parallel parked in spaces literally less than 6” longer than the car. a word to the wise though, buy one with a manual gearbox. the mileage tanks with an automatic gearbox but, i get well over 40 mpg with the 5-speed.

How I did it: Well, the short answer would be that I went to see the car, wrote a cheque and then, drove it off the lot. A more in-depth response would be that I: found the car online, went to see it, inspected it from front to rear, test drove it, (found no major mechanical issues,) deliberated whether or not to buy it, filled out paperwork in triplicate, wrote a cheque and then, finally, drove it off the lot. Read how I did it…
keep it simple. don’t try crazy diets or buy ‘miracle weight loss drugs’ or middle-of-the-night-advertisement exercising devices. i found that just removing excess fats and unnecessary sugars from my diet, along with daily or near-daily exercise, worked for me.
having had my septum piercing botched twice, i decided to give up on all piercings. not only that but, i had an epiphany and now find that piercings are tacky and not for me.
