Um, thanks, Mini for telling me my brake pads have worn thin. Why can’t you also infuse my checking account with the cash to pay for replacing them?

I like this car fine, and I’m sure I’m just misremembering what happened with the previous car, but it sure seems like things happen to the Mini more often than they did with the Geo. On the other hand, it’s a 2005 Mini, so it’s 10 years old and things happen to 10-year-old cars.

Rats. Well, Lex Brodie’s,, see you Monday morning.
