And it's into these hands, we Boomers are leaving our nation.

 

Wow, I didn't know that all those guys were gay.

 

Well, they all own the same one.

 

Upon seeing my little Mini shrine at work (first photo), "Hey is that you're car out in the parking lot?"
i wanted to reply, "No, I just really like that guy's car."

Good thing he didn't see my shirne at home! (second photo)

 

Me: Sitting in my MINI, ready to leave work.

Coworker: Hey, is that your car?

Me: No. I'm stealing it, now if you don't mind, I'm in a bit of a hurry.

 

 

Lol, "Here's your sign" comes to mind.

 

sheajeff: Is that a printout of you on the Draon on the far left side of that first picture? It looks like a 'killboy' shot!

 

Yes, it's Killboy.
One of these days I have to go back to the site and buy a couple more of the really nice shots.
How quickly the time passes...

 

YES!

I've been wanting to do the same thing, but no one ever asks. At least people are minding their own business I guess.

 

Actually Penn & Teller (Hilarious illusion troupe) Own 3 MINIs each, as said by themselves on one of the episodes of their TV show Penn and Teller's ********!

^I really hope I don't get an infraction for that

Anyway I have quite a few of them..


"How do you fit in there?"
"I'm thinking of buying one for my daughter, is it safe? I think I should get her a SUV"
"How many miles are you getting?"
"Why didn't you buy a Ford?" BECAUSE THEY NEED A GRENADE TO REPAIR THEM
"Is that the new VW Beetle?"
"Ha! My Hummer can run over that"
"Ha! My Ranger can run over that"
"Ha! My Civic (??) can run over that"
^The only documented car to "straddle" other cars in the past 6 years was the 01-03 Lincoln Navigator due to a faulty skid plate design. I then correct said person with some education that a. Their hummer can't catch me b. Their Ford will explode before it hits 3rd and c. Their riced econobox can't straddle anything because of the Body kit

"Is that a clown car?"

Personal favorite: "That's the car from Italian Job right? The uh.. the uh.. MINI.. something..." Nice one ace
"I could never afford one of those cars, what are they.. $65,000?"
"Where's the turbo?"

Random Guy at party: "You drive a MINI Cooper? Are you gay!!?"
Me: "You drive a truck, are you compensating?"

Brother: "People that drive MINIs are overcompensating for something"
Me: "Are you kidding? Try undercompensating"

"Is that the new Porsche?"

And then there are the mindnumbing amount of disrespectful fools driving their elephants who disregard all traffic code just to cut me off in a subliminal establishment of dominance that is then shattered when I speed by them by pressing my foot lightly on the pedal. Also, I have been run off the road once by a man in his oversize F250 in broad daylight turning through a TWO LANE intersection. He started in the left and decided to cut into the right, which is where I was.

 

How many clowns can you fit in that car
none becuase you're not getting in it

 

Mind if I steal that one?

 

Ha, I used a similar one on my husband's coworker:

"Hey, how many clowns can fit in there?"
"I dunno, why don't you try getting in and we'll see..."

 

It has nothing to do with the 'looks'.

The PT Cruiser uses the same Chyrsler motor as the MC.

Everytime you use that, you must paypal me a dollar.

Im gonna get outta da ghetto soon!

So many beat up old ishboxes around here, its sickening. One guy asked me if I sold my house to purchase one of these and that I should be spending more money on my house than my car... as he drove away in his smoking mid 80s Grand prix...

 

One dollar is okay, I'll give you ten, how about that? Get's you out of the disgusting 80's car land.

I would much rather have the setting I do now, than a house. Apartment with nice car = Bliss

House with crap car = Nightmare.

My apartment may be old, but I don't have to service it every 1,000 miles

 

"is that a confederate flag on your roof?"

 

grogerity {at} yahoo {dot} com

80s cars and poorly put together civics with body kits. Makes me sad that my car is in this environment

and I only rent!

Just thought of another one

[online]
Friend: Youre car looks like a PT cruiser
Me: What? what the hell are you talking about?
Friend: Here {Sends me links} See, look at the design. Only difference is the front!
Me: Uhhh, I dont see it.
Friend: Thats cuz youre stupid


Keep in mind this kid used air ducting for his intake tubes on his VW fox 16v conversion

 

"How's that car in the snow?"

"It's really great. No problems at all."

"Oh... I used to have an old VW and it was terrible"


WTF?

 

Wow!
I could have saved soooo much money instead of buying that alta hose!

 

I second that WTF. I HAVE a old VW, and its great in the snow. That person was truely confused on a couple of fronts.

 

(Agreed, both my '86 and '00 Jetta were troopers in the snow. We called them our Little German Jeeps.) I'd have to say my Cooper is really not as solid in the snow as the Jet was but its definately more fun to drive. I've gotten the "Isn't that powered by squirrels" comment. I like the angry weasel upgrade. :P

 

"How do you open the [back] windows?"

 

I don't even have mine yet and am sick of answering "Are you sure you fit?".

Yes, I drove one ... I FIT !!!!!

I'm only 6' ...just how tiny do folks think the MINI is !?!

dean.
