[Spridgets] A day at the auto show

[Larry Macy]

Not entirely true. You can get a loan, just at usurious rates. I got a  
new MINI Cooper S Clubman in December. I had ordered it in Sept when I  
was quoted 6% what I got was higher. I got it through MINI Finance, it  
was the only loan I could get at the time.

BTW love the damn car. It is a blast to drive (read: planted handling)  
and I find myself less prone to try to race than I did in the Saturn.  
In the Saturn I was trying to keep up, in the MINI, I know I can take  
them ;-)
