    I took my Mini Cooper S to be washed at the local detail shop the other day. Guy there had a mid-seventies Vette getting detailed. It was pretty macho looking, and the lines were actually pretty in an early Darth Vader kinda way- I don't know much about Vettes, and know even less about the ones from the mid-seventies. The car had pretty fat rubber on the back and sounded better than ok when the owner cranked it on. I did a little Internet research on the car when I got home and was startled to learn that this bad boy had something in the neighborhood of 210 hp. Dayum.
    My Mini has that much, with the JCW tuning kit. Granted, the Vette guy probably thinks I'm a wanker for driving a Mini, but little does he know what lurks under my hood. :)
