After a nearly a decade of MINI ownership, I pulled the trigger again last Thursday night, and placed an order on a 2013 MINI Cooper S Clubman. So exactly 10-years after going through the order process on my 2003 MINI, I am going through it again. It is exciting to have a new MINI on the way, but bittersweet at the same time, as it means I will be saying goodbye to my beloved 2003 MINI Cooper S. Even after 10-years, she still puts a smile on my face every time I sit behind the wheel.

I hit a fun milestone on my MINI’s odometer on my way home from work today…123,456 miles. The odometer hasn’t seen that kind of order since it turned 12,345 miles in late-2003/early-2004, and it won’t see that kind of order again until she turns 234,567 miles. However, at the current rate I am putting miles on – right around 10k per year – it will take about a decade to get there.
