SouthBend-I80-22

Winter is right around the corner. This was taken on the Indiana Toll Road between Chicago and South Bend and was a small band of Lake Effect snow that was hitting Chesterton Indiana hard. Good thing for All Wheel Drive as I almost took the Mini on this trip!

How I Totaled My Mini Cooper

Posted in Mini Cooper on April 26th, 2009 by Doug – 1 Comment

On my way to the office on Tuesday the 21st of April, I managed to total the Mini Cooper. It had been raining off and on most of the morning. About 20 miles from the office it started to down poor. I began to slow down and ended up hitting a patch of slick ice and took the car into the barrier at highway speed. Those airbags did not actually do much for me other then actually cause injury. Fortunatly for me, I walked away with some burns from the gun powder in the airbags and some minor cuts bruises.
