I do like the Mini, and if I had to buy a car right now, it would be on my short list - a smaller sport model, and would have to be in BRG.
Before I met Mrs. Gone, I was dating a girl with a Miata. A bit tight for me to get in and out of, and I always seemed to be working on it. I do like the newer RF model - it reminds me visually of a '60s Toyota Sport 800.
I don't know what the automotive landscape will look like when I hang up the helmet. Hopefully there will still be a fun way of getting around that allows driver input and makes some kind of noise. I transitioned from muscle cars when I started riding full time, and as some of you have indicated, I put more miles on two wheels than four, so going back to a car full time will be a challenge.
But, then again, the old Gypsy lady said that I'd go on the job, most likely hit by flying debris at a race track. If that happens sometime before I need to make the decision about riding, I won't be faced with a tough choice.
