Default Have you ever flown\owned a Mooney?

I've flown a Mooney once, a M20K if I remember correctly... it's been a
while. Damn thing would climb like a banshee and wouldn't want to come down,
except for the cool speed brakes (Precise Flight?). I could not get used to
the tight confines of its cabin, though. I prefer a little more shoulder
room. When we returned to home field the right tire blew (had a bald spot
and the owner had forgotten to change the tire), but with plenty of left
rudder and some careful braking and I was able to keep it on the runway.
