I thought this was click bait; Unhingd needs help? No way. But it was help with wife, not car! Perhaps she needs a new differential?

 

When she said you were right, had you just admitted making a mistake?

 

She's never driven my car and never wants to. She's real happy with her MT MINI JCW(Gen2).

 

I constantly get pulled back to the idea of a Mini. I had a 2003 S and learned a few things:

The space in the front seats is insane. I think we've talked about this before, but a 6.7" driver will be bale to push the seat back far enough that he'll not be able to reach the pedals well.
The handling is spot on. It's almost as fun as a go cart
You get half your garage back. They are so short, I could park a couple of motorcycles in front of the Mini is my garage
They are well made, but don't carry the same stigmas as a BMW

Bad things I learned:

I hate run flats
Never, ever, under any circumstance, get white wheels. On any car. Ever.
Sun visors that are possible worse that the F-Type's.

All in all, I loved the little car. I could park it pretty much anywhere without worrying about it, it could carry a good amount of stuff and you have a great time getting there.

 

I hate to break the news to you Lance but even a broken clock is right twice a day. So if you figure that in 65-or-so years you can chalk one time to being right...congratulations! Put another way, in terms you would surely recognize, you’re batting about 1%

 

Answer: Yes.......even if we are not.

 

To paraphrase Nimitz from 'In Harm's Way', Well, we all know the she's never wrong. But in this case, she was a little weak on being right.

 

Sorry can't help, I've never experienced this before....

 

I obviously know this from experience; recent too.
