Don't fight it... EMBRACE the idea



It's a MINI I've seen frequently in my neighborhood, just never noticed the license plate frame until now.

There's no getting around it; MINIs are cute. And the more one tries to make them look mean and aggressive, the cuter they look. I just don't understand why that's so bad.

Cute is one reason I acquired one. Also one of the reasons I'm going to add a new Fiat 500.

Once someone drives with me, they don't say that anymore:-). So whatever, but I definitely want that license plate frame!

Some people really embrace it. There's one around these parts with a vanity plate "ittybity" (my spelling may not be exact, but you get the idea).

If you blacked it out and got rid of all the chrome, it would no longer be cute.

I thought about doing this whole "black out" thing but then I realized a better option, tint my windows, get black rims, change my side scuttles to black mesh, and add another chrome piece to my car which is the hood scoop. Now that's a bad biatch

Or you can give it a really butch nickname. After her run-in with Bambi the other day the wife is considering "Deerklr" as a license plate (deerslyr and deerhntr are both taken).

Nope! Never once have I heard "cute" come out of the mouths of those who've seen my MINI. Mostly "sick" or pretty much "badass". Many just snap shots of it too.

Winnie IS cute. I wanted cute. And sweet. And adorable. And today a woman came running across the parking lot to gush about how cute she is, and how much the woman wants one **just like her**, and how Winnie is her dream car.
So yes, she's cute. And I love every minute of driving her.
