VehiGAZ,
I was thinking about doing the exact same thing (buying a Mini Cooper S as a daily driver), and now I have a dilema on my hands. If I'm going to spend $13K-$15K on a Mini, why not try to find a low milage Proton or Foxfire and store that sucker away? A Mini would be a TON of fun, though, and get better gas milage, but having a second VX would be SWEET, but a Mini would be a blast, but a second VX.....you see where I'm going?
