Mini My Ride

Porter may be cute, but he's only one of the new additions to our household. The other new addition is not a person per se, but will have a big influence in our lifestyle. After months of discussion, and a jaunt in Europe, Sara and I decided to trade in the reliable old Honda Civic (well, not really old, it was only a 2003) for a 2006 Mini Cooper. We haven't named it yet, but it's British racing green.

Also, now that we're no longer in the mass o' hills that is Pittsburgh, we left the land of automatic transmissions to return to the wonderful land of manual transmissions! Personally, it's much more fun with a manual.

Here's a picture Sara took while at the dealership.
