[DeTomaso] Shrinking Pantera ?

[Christopher Kimball]

My 19-year-old son, who is in college, owns an original 1991 Mini.  Even compared to the new Fiat 500s, it looks like a toy, and my wife and I are more than a bit nervous about him driving it around the Seattle and the surrounding freeways.  I just make sure I pray for his safety every night.
It sure is a cool car, though!

   My 19-year-old son, who is in college, owns an original 1991 Mini.
   Even compared to the new Fiat 500s, it looks like a toy, and my wife
   and I are more than a bit nervous about him driving it around the
   Seattle and the surrounding freeways.  I just make sure I pray for his
   safety every night.
   It sure is a cool car, though!
