MINI meets Porsche, Porsche makes friend.

I was coming home from work this morning when I looked in my rear-view mirror to see a Boxer coming up on me. As its blinker went on to pass me I began to accelorate so that we would both be traveling the same speed as it got next to me. So we are running side by side and I check to see who was driving and was plenty surprized to see a girl who looked about my age (18) and who was very attractive. Now how an 18year old was driving around in Boxer I'm not sure, but I don't care. When she peaked at me she gave me a nod, I called her nod and raised her a smile. She returned the smile and accelerated about 5-10mph. So I went to catch up to her, and swiftly did. Then when she looked over again I threw up my "Hey, Sexy" motoring message card. She smiled again, blew me a kiss, then took an off-ramp. It was probably my best time motoring I've had in a LONG time.

Ok eyes on the road my friend! That reminds me of the movie " American Graffiti" when the main charcter was chasing around Susanne Summers in a white T-Bird the whole time. Too bad you didn't get her number but if she's already drving a Boxter you probably couldn't afford her anyway so the "what if" may be an even better memory.

I have had this happen 2x with 2 guys of all things... well more then 2, but 2 that smiled and winked at me... :P

One was a dodge avenger? if I can remember, and one was a lexus I believe...

I had to turn off and leave the avenger, I was late for work, and the lexus was in the left lane and exited quickly crossing 3 lanes... I was also on my way somewhere to pick up the youth for the youth group, so I couldn't pursue.

I wish I had these moments in my town. I'll take a cute girl in a Toyota pickup for all I care. Porsche only helps. Also, where can I get these motoring cards at?

Cool story.

It's a Boxster, though, for future reference. And hot girls in Porsches ftw.

Send MINIUSA an email asking for them and explain your situation. They had no problem sending me a box (my MINI was used also.)
