Do We Live in the Same Nebraska?

The Mini salesman said that I could drive my motorcycle 8 months out of the year. I think he was trying to sell us a low mileage lease (5,000 miles per year).

I’m not sure what part of Nebraska he’s from. It must be a sunnier part, with warmer temperatures and no rain, where no one has to drive or walk a little kid to school.

Nice try.

I like Mini. The dealership was low stress. It was a “Hey, want to look at our cars? What options would you like? Want to take it for a spin?” environment. It was kind of fun to even be in the dealership, to be honest, and they vended FREE Starbucks coffee. What more could you ask for?

The Mini was a fun drive. The model we drove was priced at $21K, which is within market prices for a brand new car.

Maybe someday. At least I don’t have a hockey bag to fit in the back. 🙂

Mini Cooper

Today, we test drove a car just like this. It was a 2007 green and white Mini.

These cars look really small on the outside, but they are quite big on the inside. There is virtually no dash taking up any space. All the dials are huge and modern-looking. The ride is smooth. The seats were heated and the sunroof covered the whole top of the car!
We loved it, but our stupid Sonata is $6K upside down.
We’re going to have to do the unthinkable. We’re going to have to save and keep paying on the Sonata until it becomes more feasible.
40 mpg. Can you believe it? Who needs a hybrid when you can have a Mini for a LOT less??

In a Big Hurry – Crazy Driver

You will not believe what I saw on the way to work today. A girl, driving a mid-sized car, was in a big hurry. On the 4-lane road I was on, she was squeezing between cars where she maybe had an inch more than her car to get into. Seriously.

She was obviously unhappy with the speed of traffic, so she whipped over into the oncoming traffic lane MORE THAN ONCE, in order to get around traffic. Then she’d whip back into the correct lane.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. I mean, come on. Most of the time I’m in a hurry, but would that make it alright for me to potentially smash into someone head-on, kill myself and some unsuspecting family?

I think not.

So, I’m going to learn to drive a motorcycle

Really. My husband signed me up to take a class next year, and they had a couple of cancellations, so I’m in. I was surprised to hear how intensive the training was, really. It involves 3 hours of classroom training on two days during the week, then 8 – 5 riding on both days of the weekend.

I’ll be taking a written and a riding test, then I can go to the county and get my license, if I want.

My mom is probably going to kick my butt.
