I just signed up on the MINI site. (Yes, we're considering a MINI.) Here are some of the terms of service:
I also agree to avoid ruts.
And I agree to change my locker combination to include the numbers 1964 (the year we won our first Monte Carlo rally).
I agree to chase squirrels around the park every now and then and giggle like a madman while doing it.
I agree to be more adventurous and try to avoid homogenized restaurant chains.
I agree to name my first-born Cooper.
I agree to bare the soles of my feet to the earth and feel grass, sand, stones, and streams.
I agree to watch the movie "The Italian Job" as soon as I can.
I agree to at least think strongly about learning to play a musical instrument.
I agree to consider painting the roof of my house in contrasting colors.
