  • Today I sold my beloved 2008 Mini, partly because, while the engine was still completely sound at 130k miles (barring the turbo that blew up three years ago), the rest of the car was beginning to fall apart. One of the rear light clusters kept shorting, interior panels worked themselves loose, the AC stopped working, the self leveling mechanism in one of the headlights broke. And so on, and so on.

    I’m genuinely sad that I had to let it go, but it was on the cusp of being a massive pain in the ass to sort out.

    But that engine was still solid.
