Last Thursday, May 11 I bid a fond farewell to my PT Cruiser that has given me almost 6 years of reliable service and transportation. In it's place is a MINI Cooper S in chili red. I couldn't stop thinking about this car after the first test drive. It really is like driving a go cart on the street. The inside is very posh with just enough retro treatments to please the eye. I look forward to driving it every day.

It performed admirably taking Jim, myself, Molly and Hazel (yes, the dogs fit too) in mini-style to Rehoboth, Bethany and Ocean View for Mother's Day weekend where we found lots of twisty, turny back roads to motor on. If you have a chance to drive one, do it.
