I am a male lesbian and I love my Mini. She is equiped with a 135db cop horn to assist the blind and is endowed with enough power to make us appear as a dot in the distance for those whom we offend

We are comfortable in our skins...

Dude, you love em or you hate em, there is no in between, and people who hate em, are always rude about it, and most likely still drive their moms tempo, so I wouldnt worry about it, its a million peoples dream car. (the cooper, not the tempo)

The MINI is a wolf in sheeps clothing...anyone who doesn't care about educating themselves about what they are about, well let them be ignorant and leave them behind. Also, deny them rides when they eventually come around.

By the way, whats wrong with driving a "gay" car? It could be worse...you could be in a New Beetle!

(kidding.) Do we all need to drive F2000 Triton Quad/King/Queen/Dictator Cab Diesel Trucks with a full size plasma tv to entertain the children? I say hell no!

Why stop at your car? Stuff your house with crap too! Like this:

It's a cf razor! What could be more craptastic than extra crap in your bathroom?

A Jeep Wrangler is also considered by many ignorant people to be a chick car. Tell that to all the off road macho guys. I own a MINI a Miata (for sale) and a Harley, how's that for an oxymoron? I also have a wife and 2 kids. The MINI is just a fun car and I could care less what other people think, neither should you.

Something I read here before I got mine: Don't buy a MINI if you don't like talking to strangers in parking lots.

My stranger-interaction has been 100% positive. To me, it appears that everybody loves 'em!

3. The MINI is ignored on the road, people don't see you.

I'm still thinking about a MINI, I enjoy so many things about it from the very cool company site, the local dealer site, the very quick response to an email I sent to MINIusa.com, the enthusiasm I have yet to have for just about any vehicle, but man, what else is there that I have yet to encounter? :impatient

Let's break it down. Chicks like MINIs. So, if you are a guy, you have yourself a chickmagnet. I'm a woman and I have been approcahed by more men who wanted to know more about the car.

People who say it is a "gay" car, probably have other issues and I wouldn't grace it with a response....

To non-MINI enthusiasts, the MINI is noticed about as often as a VW or a pick-up truck. People who like a MINI will notice it...and there are a lot of us out there.

The bottom line is what do you want? Mick
