Awww don't take it so seriously. I'll love it when I get my mini and someone tells me it's cute. Because I'm cute. So we'll be cute x's 2.

Take it in the spirit with which the comment/compliment is intended...there are worse things than cute.

It's ok to drive a cute car. If it's fast.

Of course Mini's are cute

What you should really be dreading is the day you realize people aren't calling it cute anymore.

Stock minis can be called cute. But a modded one is badass and no longer cute at all.

Just my .02 cents

Lol......when they say that about my MINI I tell them my 120 pound male Alaskan Malamute is cute too. Which he is. Sorta. If a lady says it, she can also pet the dog cuz he'll love it. If a guy says it, I tell 'em don't touch the dog cuz he'll bite your arm off.

Saturday I went to the park to run. When I was sitting at a light to turn, an SUV pulled up next to me with a younger couple in the front and an older lady in the back.

She rolled down the window and asked me how I liked the car. I told her how much I love it since it's my 4th mini in 2 years. She asked about gas mileage and blah, blah, blah.

She then proceeded to tell me how much she loved minis and how "cute" they are.

I looked at the couple in the front and told the driver "that's what a guy wants to hear, you're driving a "cute" car"

The lady in the back said, okay, how about you're good looking?

I said "much better" waved and sped off...

I agree with MINI-charged, it doesn't bother me a bit when a girl says mines cute, its a good conversation starter, but mine doesn't sound cute when it gets to 4,000 rpm.

What is good is !!!!!

I have never met anyone that was not interested in my Mini. I get questions all the time from people asking how I like it, Gas mileage,comfort, room,ETC. Many times I have come out of a store and someone was waiting to ask me about my Mini. I even had a guy go buy a clubman from my salesman over in Orlando.

I do think my "Little Red Monster" is very CUTE. So is my dog "MARIO"

As usual your posts rank up there in "classic" status once again.

Good stuff!
