Heres the thing The 350Z is a great car and So is the MINI So why talk S**T about either car? Oh well just makes me glad I got a MINI and not a 350Z or an STI.

I am 42 Years old.

I have a 24 year old Girlfriend.

I have a huge member.

I Drive a Mini Cooper S Convertible

I used to drive a 350Z.

When I drove the Z, everyone thought I was a "Z"ero - with a small **** - who just wanted to prove something.

Now I drive a MINI, and everyone thinks I am a Hero.

Besides, a MINI handles like none other (and I have owned 14 vehicles, from Jags and Bimmers, to Z's and Miata's)

Also, the people I met while Z-ing around were all somewhat insecure.
The MINI community has given me some close friends, and a true sense of comraderie.

Also, I have been to many a car show with my MINI, and always came home with a Trophy, when the Z's went home empty handed.

For any of you Z owners to have such vitriol against the MINI, it is because you just don't get it.

If we win this pole it means we have the BEST vehicle around.......if we Lose this pole, it means we have the best vehicle around and we lost this pole.

And the Anna chick will be posting lingerie pics if the Z wins, thats why the college boys are voting for the Z. Anna is probably a 50 year old fat and hairy guy who bought the Z as a mid-life crisis car.

Either way Mini is at 46 & Z at 54. At this late in the game I don't think our Mini is going to win so Anna will probably end up posting pics

I like how in the post in the Z forum they said they NEED the tahoe to win so they have a chance against the BMW...where as, I think the MINI would put up a good fight against the BMW, being its little brother and all

Edit:
Anyone with a facebook account can catch a sneakpeak of this 'Anna' http://vcu.facebook.com/profile.php?id=25522050

Edit 2:
WOW!!! I MIGHT know this girl...

You know, come to think of it, it might be a win-win situation no matter which car wins in light of this new information.

Well, I'm uping the ante then.

If the MINI LOSES I will be posting scantily clad photos of myself. It will be in my signature for a week, and I do alot of posting.

No, you can vote twice, once for each face-off. So you can vote for the MINI and the X5 at the same time right now.

Over on the comments for that vote, I mentioned how the Z is a look-alike of the Audi TT. That's sure to go over well!

I posted multiple times - deleted the recent cookies, delete temp internet files in the browser, vote, repeat.

It's just an internet game...and I'm just as honest as I am with American Idol.

They will, you watch. I'm pretty darn sure they don't close the poll until the next one is starting. If I'm wrong... ummm... then... I'll admit it! But I don't think I'm wrong.

Now me, I think just the opposite. I think the TT looks good, and the Z is kinda like a TT mated with an Altima.
