Somewhere under that dirt is a MINI Cooper. It was in the 40’s in Wisconsin today. On such a hot day, it was time to crank the music, roll down the windows and get a car wash, but not all at the same time. As it turns out, not everyone will be opening their windows on such a day, but they are at the car wash. And so, Bessie remains in her winter camouflage.

Not every owner has hundreds of dollars to spend on their MINI. For the thrifty owner, this is a snip at only $1.00. Yes, Target has a very sporty 12 CD case for all your motoring music whims. (Itty Bitty Bessie the MINI sold separately.)

Also available at Target in their dollar spot is a Matchbox/Hot Wheels size MINI Cooper. It’s not liquid yellow, and so, I didn’t buy one. Especially since the aforementioned name brand equivalents are only 97 cents.
