I've set the date!

[orangerful]

Well, after many months and weeks of waffling around, I finally set a date.

Next Friday, November 10th, I'm going down to Tate MINI of Annapolis and ordering my MINI.

Yep, I give them $1000 and they will factory order my exact car that I want. I was too late to get a 2006, but it's only $100 more (well, $105, with tax) for the 2007 model, and if I place it this month, I should be one of the first built and shipped, so hopefully I'll have it by early to mid January. How sweet will that be?

So, yes, I'm done with the "ooh can I get it used?" "oooh what color is the roof?" --- I'm gonna get the exact car I want!

*dances* I'm so excited, I can't believe I'm excited about going into debt!!! But I am!

Let's Motor!

heehee, thanks! I'm giddy. When you get over to Maryland some day, I'll give you a spin.

Though I might have to charge to help with the payments ;-)

oohhh--fun! have you decided on the colors yet? we need links and/or pics.

ah yes, here is the plan - metallic orange MINI convertible and, if I'm brave enough, I'm going to take it in to get customized. See, awhile back, MINI had an ad campaign that said "let's put another handle on the door" and they sent out free letter stickers so you could spell something on the side. So I want to get my orange MINI and get "orangerful" on the driver's side door. :)

This is the plan. I just have to figure out the best place around here to get that kind of customization done.

ohh--wow! too bad you don't live near my sister...her husband does that stuff for a living. ;) he's very good too, a little OCD on the stuff.

I think if I'm getting my car customized, I'd want the guy to be a little OCD. ;-) If you're painting on an object that technically costs 25k, you want to get it right!

hee! yeah, i meant it as a compliment. ;) i've also seen him do a pinstripe free-handed!

WOOOHOOOOO!!! So exciting! Make sure you take a picture of you zooming about once you get to do that in your lovely mini :)

Yay!!! Mini power! I believe they should title the documentary feature " a Girl and her car". I'm so happy for you. It's important to go for what you want. Accept no substitutes. :)
