The Mini I ordered should be in around mid-November. The boat its on should dock in CA around the end of this month.

Anyways, after a good bit of thinking it over I've decided that right now probably isn't the best time to buy a new car. The markets & economy are just a bit too uncertain for my tastes. But, for someone else out there who is willing to buy one, I'm happy to put you in touch with my salesperson.

The car specs are:
Lightning Blue w/Black roof (no stripes)
Leather Punch Carbon Black
Anthracite headliner
Conv Package
Cold Weather Pkg
Premium Pkg
LSD
Chrome line interior
dark grey color line
piano black interior surface
xenon headlights
rear fogs
hi-fi sound system

$29.7k MSRP + dealer required pkg of floormats and 'detail' ($295). Still better than NW Mini was with $500+ 'market adjustment'.

BTW, my deposit is fully refundable either way, just putting it up here to see if any 6speeders want one without the ordering wait.
