Wow! A video post I can legitimately post on all of my blogs!

This past weekend I was uber bored and made a spontaneous drive to the lake.

Who's Buying This Car?

Some how I ended up on the JD Power website today. Always good readin'!

(click for the zoom!)

"When BMW purchased Britain’s Rover Group, it also acquired the rights to the Mini Cooper brand, which many enthusiasts consider one of the most legendary cars of all time. BMW subsequently put the Mini back into production, preserving many of the exterior styling cues and the efficient packaging, but adding modern mechanicals and a modern interior. BMW also developed an unconventional convertible version of the car, wherein the front section of the convertible top slides back, providing a roof-width sunroof, but not a completely exposed passenger cabin."

"Runaway Cavalier" Update

THIS JUST IN!
Through an unsolicited update, I have received more info on the Runaway Cavalier! As it turns out, our frazzled gentleman was teaching his daughter to drive.

In a crowded, apartment complex, even. Niiiiiice!

Father: "This is the brake. It makes the car stop. This is the gas. It makes the car go."
Daughter: "Which one is this again?"
