Integrity, our Acura Integra of 13 years, required a new engine if she was going to continue rolling, so we said our farewells and sent her to "the farm" where she can play all day long with her friends.
Enter the newest addition to our family! I am ashamed to admit that she is still nameless and we've had her a couple of weeks! (I'm slipping!) Well, TECHNICALLY, I thought I found a PERFECT name for her right off the bat, but no one else in the family likes it. :-( I wanted to call her Pepe' because she's so peppy! Oh well!
ANYWAY, she is a Mini Cooper Clubman S. (The S means it has the turbocharged engine.) She is green (if you can't tell from the picture.) It's the first car we've ever owned where you don't put the key in the ignition and crank it. You just have to have the key faab in your pocket so that it senses it, and then you push the "start/stop" button. You turn it off the same way. Also, to enter the locked car, you simply approach the car with the faab in your pocket and push a single button to unlock the car. It also has a HUGE speedometer in the middle of the dash which the kids LOVE. They can see it the best, I think, from the back seat! (The driver actually relies on the little digital meter above the steering wheel.)
She's got lots of energy and we all love her. Please welcome her, nameless as she is, to our family! :-)
Feel free to submit name ideas! We'll keep you posted!

I suppose calling her "Minnie" just isn't original enough? :)
