2003 Mini Cooper S with 68.5k on the clock.

6-speed, cloth interior, no nav, no sunroof, dinky 16-inch wheels, a few bumper dings, a set of nearly bald Blizzaks, brakes that won't pass state inspection and a really horrible mix left in the CD player by the previous owner.

So what are my plans? Slowly but surely transform it into something that I can use to cut through NYC rush hour traffic with. The first order of business will be proper suspension, brakes and a sticky, lightweight wheel and tire combo. Stay tuned...
