+1!!

 

You know you Own, Drive, and L<3VE a MINI when you buy your MINI presents for their Birthday and yours!!

 

"you know you're a MINI owner when".... You bought a MINI...

 

Y.K.Y.A.M.O.W. you drive down the road and feel sorry for the drivers of SUV's, Camrys,etc,etc,etc,........

 

Meanwhile this morning I am stuck behind a Lincoln Towncar on an entrance ramp that kept hitting the brakes everytime she got past 20 MPH

I was so tempted to make a pass on the clover leaf but decided to take a deep breath and let the SC take over once I got on the highway

 

I feel the same way; but it is their choice not mine.

 

When you find that you have to dip in and out of traffic as a highway is so BORING to drive!

 

GUILTY! Of this and do many other things listed in this awesome thread!

 

Guilty of this and sooo many other things listed in this funny thread!

 

I KNEW there had to be thread like this here. HaHa! I'm reviving it!

You know you're a MINI owner when . . .

. . . you don't care about top speed. It's all about acceleration and going faster in the corners.

. . . you know you can quickly escape danger by downshifting and mashing the accelerator.

. . . people say "I bet it's a blast to drive!", and then I hand them the keys. They come back looking like this:

. . . you love on and off ramps and roundabouts.

. . . you love to let off the gas to hear the burble!

. . . you lay the rear seats down so you can hear the exhaust better.

. . . people say it's cute, and you say, "If by cute you mean bada$$, then yes, it's cute."

. . . you can't fit normal size water bottles in the front cup holders.

. . . passengers are amazed at the front passenger leg room.

 

Ok we are doing this...lol

...when you have to tell your passengers while you are getting out "pull twice"

...when u tell people "no it will fit"

Man I love these threads

 

When your gas gauge says 466mi to empty when you spent $20 to fill it up and you compare it to the Jeep you traded in that would say 280mi to empty after spending $43 to fill it up.

 

Ok, you know you are a MINI owner when...

You found a revived thread and just spent a half hour reading the whole thing and then found yourself thinking about what to add to it...

When your wife says that you should get one to keep hers company in the garage.

When you would rather take the MINI than the Jeep in a snow storm because it is more fun.

When you go to the lumber store and slide 4 - 8' 2x4s inside of it and the SUV has them hanging out the rear window.

When your wife says that she just got complements on her 12 year old MINI and you are jealous that yours hasn't gotten any in a while.

When, after 12 years your car is still getting complements.

When you make suspension mods to make it handle better on the track and your wife says she likes it better now while running your favorite twisty road.

When you take both MINIs to somewhere just so you both can have fun driving and then you realize that even with the 2 cars you are getting better combined gas mileage than the Jeep by itself.

 

You know your a MINI owner when...

You come to a nice set of curves in the road an drive them like a road course!

but only if it's safe!

 

your 2 year old granddaughter sees you drive up and races past you to point at your Mini!

 

You point out to the passenger " hey there is another MINI " and wave , but you drove the other non MINI today.

 

You Know your a Mini Owner when

You decree that winter is over because you are tired of pampering the snow tires...I'm done...

 

I know. I have been tempted to remove the snows all winter. But I do not want to create snow!

 

I know i want my snows off also. But its still going to snow.
