It was a British car... Though I guess it's still made in G, huh?
What four things?
Nope, all MINIs are made in Oxford UK. I think they're opening a plant elsewhere next year to produce the crossover.
I have a wierd window issue, squeak and a rattle in the dash, turn down the alarm shock sensor, or there's a weather stripping trim i want them to look at... and my annual free oil change/maintenance.

i dropped off my car at the dealer this morning, and got a Chevy COBALT sedan as a rental.
it is THE MOST underpowered car i've ever driven. half the time i had the gas pedal nearly at the bottom to get any sort of acceleration out of it. 0-60 is roughly 30 seconds.
i can't wait to get rid of this lumbering, body rolling, undersized braked beast.

Yikes.
That's the same kinda acceleration from the old Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel from 25+ years back.

Massa Satisfactory after Accident
July 25, 2009
BUDAPEST, Hungary(AP) -- Ferrari driver Felipe Massa underwent surgery on life-threatening skull injuries Saturday from a high-speed crash during Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying. He was in stable condition in the intensive care unit of a military hospital.
The accident happened when a loose part from another car hit Massa in the helmet, causing him to veer into a tire-lined barrier at about 120 mph. The front of his car was shredded, with both tires gone and the front nose open.
The 28-year-old Brazilian also sustained a concussion but was conscious when airlifted to AEK hospital, his team said.
"At the time he was admitted to hospital his condition was stable and he was breathing and blood circulation was normal," the Hungarian defense department said in a statement.
"During the course of his examination they established that he suffered a serious, life-threatening injuries, including loss of consciousness and a fracture of the forehead on the left side and a fracture on the base of the skull."
Massa underwent surgery about an hour after arriving at the hospital. Hospital doctors subsequently said his condition was "serious, life threatening but stable" at a news conference, but ultimately ruled the Formula One driver was in "stable, satisfactory condition."
A spring that had fallen off Rubens Barrichello's car flew up and struck Massa in the helmet. An apparently dazed Massa continued over a curb and across the track. He went through the gravel area along the circuit before slamming into the tire barrier.
The impact of the rear suspension part - a standard component that Brawn GP team principal Ross Brawn believed was made of steel - damaged the left side of Massa's helmet, ripping out the visor and leaving a long dent on its side. Blood was seen above Massa's left brow.
