More likely to need the barf-bag if he took the '69 Charger through the twisties.

I've invited him several times but if it isn't Mopar he isn't interested. Oh well, his loss and I have a great little road 1/4 mile from my house that could be call the "Baby Dragons Tail". New Cut Road in Ellicott City, Maryland is 2 1/2 miles of twists and turns (about 25) and only one side road on the whole length.

Ask him what he's AFRAID of?

Have you told him that your MINI's engine is part Chrysler blood?

I think he may just be afraid of riding in a rag top that's about the size of a size 18 shoe box.

Everytime you walk past him, make "clucking" sounds!

Instead of tight twisties, how about asphalt roller coaster and instead of barf bag how about regurgitation catch-all (I hope ).

Don't like it, don't read it, or come up with your own "buzzwords."

Couple of guys need to get in touch with their metrosexual side and learn to take "cute" as a compliment..

MINIs - to me - are not cute are COOL and I don't "dress them up" as I don't dress up my GSD, but I smile when I see "dressy" MINIs with flowers, vinyl designs etc... everyone can spend his/her money as they like it..
I dress my MINI my way... tires, wheels, strut braces, camber plates etc..

if some one starts a conversation about the MINI w/ "how cute" we talk about everything else but cars ..
Cuteness is an "attractive physical trait". Use it to your advantage.

Imagine if people said.
"oh a MINI how ferocious"
