Car guru verdict

I brought this spiff little red Mini Cooper that I have been eyeing over to my brother in law, aka car guru, so that he could give his blessing or not. I drove this little wonderful piece of I want to drive you forever and beyond, to his shop. My man is in the car repair business, he can spot a bad one from a mile away, just like my dad. That has by the way never stopped me from buying a car, I have had 2 Alfa Romeos that my dad secretly admired even though he said do not buy this one. So this is what happened today.

John;What's up Swede.

Jonas; Not much, go back to Ohio!

John; He, he, good to see you.

Jonas; The same.

John; You brought the Mini?

Jonas; Dude, it's right outside your window, the little red one.

John; Man, how about a Kia, you can't go wrong, besides a Sofia in a Kia. He he.

Jonas: Funny, are you going to look at it or not.

We walk out of the body shop, John leans his head a bit and says,

John; This little lady has a story to tell.

Jonas; How do you know ( I greatly insulted him, after more than 20 years in car repair he knows from a mile away).

John; First, the roof is repainted and they did a poor job, man it even has hail damage to it. Second, the hood has been worked on so has the quarter panel. Third there is all kind of mildew in the trunk and the rear muffler is rusted which makes me think that the car was in a wreck and went in to the salt marsh and sat for awhile before being repaired. I got to tell you bro, I'l l pass on this one.

Jonas; That's the smell, I thought that it smelled like something I recognized, sweet grass. Thanks bro, I appreciate it.

I crank the mini up and are just to leave the body shop when this great big man screams on top of his lungs, A Kia for Sofia!

What can I say more than that I love him? Thanks John, I appreciate it. I will how ever drag every used car your way that I come across that's just remotely interesting. After all you said that it's fine for me to do so.
