4,436 miles
I took Leroy to Prestige MINI to have the service group look at my roof (read prior journal entries). They did not think there would be a problem replacing it, however they need approval from a BMW Service Rep before any work can begin. The rep is currently on vacation until 07/25.
Had I known the rep was out, I would not have bothered driving Leroy to work (50 miles round trip) and the extra 40 miles (round trip) to Prestige. Which brings me to my next topic...
I do not know why I worry so much about driving Leroy... he's paid off, it is the summer, MINI beats Sonoma (my daily ride) hands down in the fun department, and regarding safety and fuel efficiency? My Sonoma doesn't even come close. The only reason I can offer is that I enjoy the 'new car' feeling. Like any parent, I worry about Leroy constantly; always under covers when not in use, Zaino applied religiously, I drive him like I'm driving 'Miss Daisy'... and I do not like putting unnecessary miles on him. But like any good parent, I will eventually let Leroy loose (that's where the real fun begins!).
Given the above, the drive to Prestige last week was fun nonethless. There are a lot more MINIs up in Bergen County than in Hudson County and for those MINI owners who feel waving to other MINI owners is important, rest assured this act is alive and well in Bergen County.
Change of topic; I bought a baseball cap yesterday (07/23). I realized that 50 SPF does not do enough to keep my skin nice and pale. Why did I buy a 'vert given my propensity to avoid the sun? Oh yeah... 'cuz the 'vert is a MINI!
Last item; my co-worker Elie finally got to take a spin in Leroy. The day I drove Leroy to work (so I can take him to Prestige), Elie and I made plans for her to meet Leroy. She was so happy for me! She also reprimanded me for not driving Leroy around more often.
