No. If I had realized it was the corner, I would have posted it there instead. I posted it for the sake of posting it regardless of position on the page.

It looks like I'm going to have to work hard to convince my parents to let me trade / sell the Mini for an s2k...

I feel like I am loosing my s2k, I dont have a parking garage and I never drive it because I don't want it to be somewhere my door man cant see it. Today he told me the city almost came to tow it because it hadn't been driven in so long and was in the same spot. Lucky for me he saved me from the tow, however I noticed on the car there is a scuff (prob can't be buffed out) and now I am sad because I am most likely going to take her back home to my parents house to sit...

The question is do I keep her or sell her? 24 days now that she hasn't been driven (beside the once around the block to make her feel alive again) Financially getting a parking spot isn't an option, this was my first car I ever wanted, I dreamed of having her and I don't want to give her up simply for sentimental value... In 6-12 months she will most likely be in a garage... :cries:

I need advice!

Chris,
1.) Move to another location with better street parking or with an affordable garage spot.

2.) Just drive it and be prepared to have your bumper sanded down and refinished every other year. It'd probably be cheaper than a garage spot anyhow.

I have a garage spot now, but that was not always the case. My last car has tons of battle scars to prove it, but I didn't let that get in the way of driving it. The bottom line is this...it's a car, it's meant to be driven and a bumper is meant to be bumped

^^^I like this

Personally, I don't believe in "garage queens" so to speak -- so, if I wasn't driving my car enough, I would sell it...

On the other hand, for me, interval between drives (i.e., 24 days) doesn't mean that much if you make the drives that you do take count, like if you take long trips or something.

Good luck with your decision!

I think my buddy and Chris s2k both persuaded me to just drive it more, so I might actually drive it to the meet tonight.
