well...guess that depends on your perspective.....my son doesn't think my MCS is too cool because he is more into pure speed and my wife doesn't think it is too cool because she hates to shift and for me I think it depends on what you are driving at the time....had a classic mini for a brief time in the 60's and that was cool....then had a Plymouth Roadrunner muscle car and that was the coolest then, then traded that for one of the first porsche 914's which was the coolest then because the speed was similar to the mini and the cornering was great because of the mid engine, then traded that for a used 911 and that was the bomb because of increased speed and almost as good handling...then went into the bimmer 3 series, then the 5 series, throw in a used benz coupe aong the way, a miata (big mistake) and now back full circle to another mini...they were all cool...I did just drive a friends new Z a month or so ago and damn, that is pretty damn cool also and damn fast ....so many cars and so little time...lol!

The MINI is just a fad that will die quickly and be forgotten.
The REALLY cool car scene to get involved in is the Pontiac AZTEK. Those things are here to stay!

I was gonna put the bitchen TRD sticker on my windshield too....but, the stock spoiler is too small, need to get a shopping cart handle to make sure that baby sticks!

I find myself making up stuff to do just so I can go motor and it is an awesome car, but costs twice as much as a MCS. Doesn't have quite the appeal of the MINI either, IMO
Cheers all!

Notice how dark the tint is, it's not because the driver is a movie star and wants to avoid the paparazi. I'd be embarassed to drive such a fugly car. But hey at least if your wife kicks you out for buying one of these when you're drunk you can just fold out the tent and sleep it off. then yu wake up thinking it was just a bad dream, WRONG! the vivid yellow rudeness smacks you in the chops as you slink back to the dealer to try and off load this errr in judgement.
The Original MINI was cool the new MINI is the rebirth of cool.

Yeah, If I wanna go camping I'll pack a friggen tent in the MINI. Pontica makes the ugliest cars on the road, even that new Vibe is an eye-sore. Can't wait to get next to an eager driver in one of those or its Martix brother so I can show them what the MCS is made of.

Now now, boys. The AZTEK is one kickass automobile. Back in 1974, Americans were often overheard saying, "What the hell is that monstrosity?" as the VW Thing trundled along next to their Dodge Dart Swingers, Ford Pintos and Olds Station Wagons with wood paneling. Now, the Things are highly valued collectibles.
The AZTEK is just ugly enough to be a classic some day... and it's got features. It's got lot's and lot's of features. I mean, how cool is a tent out the ****? THAT'S bona fide cool.
FRANK: "Hey John. Are you okay to drive? You've knocked back a lot of beer tonight."
JOHN: "Oh, thanks Frank. You're a real pal. Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere. My AZTEK is going to crap a tent out the back. I'm just going to sleep here tonight."
FRANK: "Damn. THAT'S cool!"
If I could have one car, it would be a MINI Cooper. But if I could have TWO cars... the other one would be an AZTEK! :smile:
