If I were to do a mini, it'd be replacing my Pro5
If I do a miata, it'd be just a toy. And, i wouldn't mod it that way if i did chose to auto-x, it'd be bone stock, and not a money pit
As to the cooper's, i'm researching them base vs the "s" and, from what i'm reading the base isn't too shabby
As to payment, the pro5 is $180 a month, and, i refuse to get a carpayment over $200, so, the mini would be under $200 as well
and the pro5 would be paid off and sold when looking for a cooper
Miata would be a third car
and to all who don't know me, i'm bored and thinking out loud
