Possible Midlife Crisis?

I recently celebrated a milestone birthday. Pretty much everyone in my "circle" has already hit this big milestone so it didn't bother me too much. That being said I did find myself wanting to celebrate this new chapter in my life by doing something....I just wasn't sure what.

That "something" turned out to be a fun convertible. We went searching for a little two seater that Sean and I could zoom around for local outings. What we found was an adorable 2008 four seat Mini Cooper that we could take the kids along too. Sean and I drove three hours to pick it up, making a fun date along the way.




We got it home and Sean fixed most of the little problem lights that were on on the dash. He put in all new fluids and filters. We cleaned it up, waxed it and I removed the racing stripes that were baked on and cracking.


I was nervous to put new stripes on it but after watching no less than 12 YouTube videos on the subject I felt confident. It looks brand new and it's incredibly fun to drive....kind of like a street legal go kart.

Soooo, Can I blame you for my getting a hardtop Mini Cooper?
