According to my phone its been 253 days since I quit smoking. I decided when I quit that I was going to save the money I wasn't burning and use it for something stupid, not waste it, but not have general household eat the money and have nothing to show for it. All my life I have driven big cars, 3 litre, 6 cylinder stuff. But always hankered for a mini (I passed my test in one 30 years back so always had a soft spot for them). Anyway, I got in one last month and hated it (not as much as I hate BMW minis, but not far off). So that blew the silly notion of the mini out of the water. While I was there though I tried a few other cars of the 'you wont see me in one of those' style of car.
Long Story short, I now own my free (ridiculously small but funny and makes all sorts of statements) car. Suddenly walking around with a brabus key ring and a stupid grin. Come Sunday, the money I haven't spent on cigs will have totally paid for the car.
