Mini Cooper S Convertible


My current unhealthy obsession is the Mini Cooper Convertible.

  • Undersized for my 6'2" height?  Check.
  • Impractical for Minnesota winters?  Check.
  • No extra space in our garage?  Check.
  • I desperately want to have one regardless?  Check.
Kudos to the marketing geniuses at Mini for getting the job done right.  They've drawn me in, hook, line and sinker.  I have these visions of driving through summer with the top down, a Jack Johnson song always on the CD player and the kids bopping to the music in the back seat, the wind whipping their hair around. 

Admittedly, I already lean heavily in a "convertible" direction.  I've formerly owned a Pontiac Sunfire convertible and a Suzuki Samurai convertible, so the marketing geniuses at Mini didn't have too far to push me.
