On the way home from work yesterday, my MINI hit 40,000 miles. It’s a mental landmark that many people believe a car turns old, a point at which resale value drops. But mine is anything but old. It’s just as peppy and fun as the day I bought it. I’ve had no major problems without cause. And I still have no desire to replace it despite the temptations of newer models and features. The year has been busy for me and I could not give the car quite as much attention as in previous years, but it remains by far my favorite toy, and still puts a smile on my face each day commuting to work. I look forward to doing my own maintenance in the future and perhaps a few more mods. Time will tell. On to 100k?
