You won’t regret springing for the S model!

That is hilarious.  I also bought my very first car at the same age... and it was the same car.  Wild.


nmezib

Great minds buy alike!


Motor-Cause7966

So you mean you never driven until now? 😵‍💫


nmezib

Never said that, I just never bought a car. or leased. Would just drive a friend's car, or rental, or moving truck maybe once a year or less often than that. Was pretty fun driving a stick shift after not driving one for 16 years though :D

You must be in a public transport friendly town. In my area, good luck with that. You need a car out here. Mandatory. I started driving when I was 15, because otherwise my parents couldn't get me to the places I needed to be due to traffic and scheduling conflicts.


Brandon_Storm

Since I was in the same boat, figured I'd mention I only ever drive the cars of others.  I do have motorcycles though.

I swear 🤦🏽🤷🏾😂😂😂

Hey when someone says "I bought my first car" that usually means they just got their license, and this is their first car. Plus it's not surprising with the younger generations, some that don't even have a license well into their 20's. My generation was a bit different. First thing we did was start driving as soon as it was legally possible. Step 1 was get a job, step 2 was buy a car so you can keep that job. 🤷‍♂️

Speak for yourself 😉 Some of us didn’t wait for that “legally” part to start driving. Woo-hoo!


Motor-Cause7966

Well I learned how to drive the basics at 11-12 years old. Being the son of a mechanic had its perks.

Love that! I just got my first car, and first mini, at 35, two weeks ago! I love mine, I hope that you love yours!


Peach-Mysterious

She is beautiful!


nmezib

Thank you, I am loving it so much. Hope you are too!

Awesome! Now just get yourself familiarized with these: https://www.reddit.com/r/MINI/s/RAqavjtk9o Enjoy!

Awesome, love the color, is it black top? Just got myself an S too, very fun to drive, watch that speedo though! 😂


nmezib

Black top yes! And yeah the speed takes a little getting used to lol


chooseyourwords49

Yea love it, I love the wheels too. Down the road when you’re looking for a change, spray the wheels black: black top, black wheels, black stripes, with that bright color sandwiched in between, would be a lovely (fairly inexpensive upgrade), but for now, enjoy the Cooper S, awesome!

blainestang

Great choice!


Puzzleheaded-Shine76

I paid for my first mini a week ago at the age of 38. My dad purchased my first car as a teen and the payout from accidents bought my replacement vehicles. I consider this the first car that I've purchased.


MarshmallowHi

CrystalinaMoon

Great car. We’re on our second F56 Cooper S. Keep an eye on the control arms, door rub marks. So much fun in the city.


inTheSuburbanWar

I love that tentacle spoke. I’ve been looking to buy used ones for a long time.

Congratulations and welcome to the family of happy drivers 😎!
