Living in a very-car-dependent suburb, I don’t think my use has changed too much, but at least I’m enjoying getting behind the wheel now. I haven’t felt that since my smart fortwo cabrio was running well (already) a few years ago, driving top-down in a fuel-sipping gokart.
My family is jealous of MINI as they think I’m obsessed with it - as I always choose it for a drive, talk about it, and read about it … on this forum [emoji3]
Yup. They’re all bored of my blah blah. Wife has given me crap for taking care of niggles and touching up minor road rash, while her Scooby has had a nasty scratch for four years that I have yet to sort.
When we had our Subaru Legacy, we only took it out on weekends and long drives to the hills, we use it when it was absolutely necessary to use a car; otherwise we walk to town.
Now, we will always find an excuse to use the SE, even though the dairy to buy milk is only at the next block.
