Everyone's "issue" here is...they don't even pay for their cars, and most not for the modification parts. Plus, if it's not a domestic vehicle *read Mustang or F-Body* your worthless anyway. I guess that's part of the midwest/redneck/whatever we got going on but aaaaggggghhhhh =)
Much better!

And I quote one of my girlfriends' comments about the topic,
"Only because a mini cooper wasn't in the Fast and Furious movies, other people think doing stuff to them is gay." If that's your qualifications...I'll wear my rainbow with pride!

???? Don't understand this. But ok...it was not hostility, just showing how to turn the tables on D**kheads behind the wheel who like to pick on us for "Driving Gods Gift to all Motorist" (AKA - Mini Cooper). Don't worry i was not gay bashing, i love everyone equally as long as you don't touch my Mini.

Finally, You can be gay, but don't be f*g Mini_Me!

in case you didn't catch the (lmfao) on the first line, I was just flippin you s**t and being sarcastic to lighten the mood...no seriousness implied what-so-ever.

stupid would have been a better choice of word in my original post instead of gay...just to keep the thread politically correct and not offensive, trust me, I don't want to open that can of worms...

apologies to everyone, now back to the main topic...
younger mini owners out there???!!!!

I'll be turning 24 in June. I've got to admit though, the MINI has been the best car and the the most thrilling car I've driven, so far.

mini_me I have to second your redneck notion. The sad thing is that it is the same here in Detroit. Some D-bags in a Ford Expedition were yelling at me the other day as I was scoping out a Ford car and they said I should get a real car. Sad thing is I am currently up here working for Ford... Some people are just plain retarded...

Does NOT matter what age you are to enjoy a really great car with some great automotive tradition. I went from a Porsche to a MINI, and also own a Prius (boring).

Hey I'm trying to help spread the word to everyone in California, or if anyone that's free and wants to come join, there's a NorCal vs. SoCal meet on 8/28! Here's the original post: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...et-8-28-a.html
Hope to see you there! :D

I'm 21, 08 mcs is my 7th car, and by far my favorite! I feel like most MINI drivers are older men which was very surprising as I had always seen it as a chick car, but now that I have it its obvious that it's a fun person car haha

I had some ******* in a lifted, dually, beaten to hell Chevy pickup WITH smokestacks (and no friends) try to race me when I passed him. Wtf, just because his truck can spew black smoke for miles doesn't mean that it's faster than my mini. I saw a great bumper sticker on a mini the other day that said "Yeah, I am compensating for something". There's that saying that people with big trucks are compensating for their small weiner, so guys with mini's are compensating for being hung like a horse :D

Anyway, I'm 17, worked my ***** off to get my first car, a 97 accord, and then my parents got me my 03 Cooper s as a graduation present under the condition that i gave my accord to my little brother. Seems like a good trade off :D

24, this is my 4th vehicle. The first 3 were trucks and they got bigger and bigger until I just wanted something different. Man does this thing handle and scoot. I do like the versatility of the truck but much easier to break parts on and used 2-3 times more gas.
