I know this is a greivous issue, and I have signed the petition, but can we do a lighthearted "Top 10 Reasons" why silly Americans want a Marshmallow MINI?
Some of the things MCO posters have come up with are hysterically funny.
Here are 2 that I really liked:


1. "I can't drink my Slurpee while driving with one hand at 90mph."
2. "This really is shocking!"

 

3) My butt hurts when I hit a pothole

(5) Actually 'feeling' the road when you're driving is an awful experience

"I accidently opened the passenger door whilst holding on so tight around some twisties" because there is no "Suicide/Oh S%it" handle.

This didn't really happen but I've always thought that maybe in a panic mode, somebody might actually do it

 

"It's too rough, I'm having a hard time with my make-up!"

 

#8 My Mini isn't as smooth riding as my 2000 Winnebago Minnie.

 

8. "My french fries keep getting stuck up my nose when I eat on the freeway."
9.

(Please continue past 10 if you come up with something, we can always edit for a "best of" list!)

It just occured to me that maybe that's the reason for the 'double pull' on the handle to get the door unlocked!

 

Ouch....easy with the teeth....

 

10. My chiropractor said I shrunk two inches since I got the MINI.

10. My HMO doesn't cover installing coil overs to soften the ride.

10. MINI does not offer air ride suspension as an option yet.

10. If you want a softer ride by a Caddy.

 

11. "The bumps make my overhead DVD video skip!"
12. "My bobblehead chihuahua looks like it's having a seizure."

 

>>Ouch....easy with the teeth....

In the words of Homer Simpson.."It's funny 'cause it's true"

 

13. "OH my gosh, you mean it's not an economy car -?!!?"
