... windshields suck. I went through 4 OEM windshields in 3 years in my Cooper before finally going with PPG glass instead. They just kept cracking, and I don't drive my car hard. It's been a year and a half with the PPG with no problems. Wow! I guess I need to look into getting a PPG windshield. Thanks! yep, solid windshield. http://www.northamericanmotoring.com

... daylights out of the car.. In either case, I'm looking into getting a used mini cooper (or S) but I want to see what are the typical problems people have with the car and how much you usually spend on the car to maintain it. Specically, a car dating from 2002 to 2005. Any insight would be great everyone... search away.... http://www.northamericanmotoring.com

... chips in the windshield. Does anyone else have this problem? Or am I just extremely unfortunate? I had the first one repaired, the other two happened over the last week. The little guys sure get beat up by the rocks and stuff. Probably a function of where you live, and the road conditions, etc. Good info here, search for windshields. http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/
