Happy Thanksgiving - What Are You Thankful For?

Before we all go stuffing ourselves with bird, gravy, green beans, and various other foodstuffs in search of perfecting gluttony (which I always was taught was a sin - then again, Mom always said "Clean your plate; there are people starving in China", so who really knows with all those mixed messages), we should give thanks for our friends, family, good fortune, and MINIs. Here is our top 10 list of what we are, this year, thankful for about our MINIs:

1. Gas sipping performance;

2. Easy parallel parking;

3. Inexpensive aftermarket mods that can kick it up a notch;

4. Customization options that allow us to MINIfy;

5. Go kart-like handling;

6. Auxiliary ports and I-pod docks;

7. Tire pressure monitors;

8. Steering wheel stereo controls;

9. Automatic climate control; and

10. All the fantastic people we have met in the MINI community.

So, tell us, what are you thankful for about your MINI?
