Gone to the Dark Side

I have never seen anything like the resale value of the MINI. I was watching for a few years after they came out and 3 year old ones were actually selling for MORE than the MSRP. They were on my short list at the time I couldn't afford to buy a new car. That said, I'll drive this one till I can't drive any more. I'm keeping it. I'm more interested in collector car value of the thing; that is, what's it gonna be worth in 25 years? So I won't be thrasing it.

I tell my friends it is a bic lighter. Inexpensive and when it is done ....get another.
just ordered some goodies to get the little thing to north of 200 HP and torque.
