Last night's commute home was a bear; black sky, lightning/thunder, 60 mph winds, rain coming down sideways in sheets...barely able to see 20 feet in front of you. BUT: MINI was great! We gobbled up the road with windshield wipers flying, fog lamps blazing! Passed other cars on highway who were crawling slowly along.

(Sort of made up for a disasterously embarrassing ride home during a snow storm last January while MINI and I slid (uphill) at 20 mph while all the SUV's blew past us!)
