Thanks, clarkdr81.

In all honesty, I didn't terminate her solely because she insulted The Twins and all MINIs in general. But that certainly didn't help me overlook her other shortcomings.

I wish they offered the tiny 3 door hatchback called the "Citi" (i think thats what it is called). They showed it on a Best Motoring DvD when it raced in the V-Tec challange. I thought it looked awesome, it was doing pretty well until it had brake failure. I think it was racing against an old CRX, S2000, NSX, toyota(lexas) and a civic type R.

and yes...i love my little box!

I think they just stuck the MINI in there because it was another small, popular car. But I don't know what they were smoking.
Reviewers (critics! ) and weathermen are idiots.

It just popped into my head that I come from English heritage and the car i drive came on a boat from England. On the other hand my G/F is from japanese heritage and her car came on a boat from Japan.

OK....i am really bored at work and i think i am losing my mind.

Honda City was discontinued long time ago, I think. Lately Honda Fit
took over its place? was the car you saw a more modern car?

I have an 05 Element (definately a box on wheels) "Uglymobile" and an 04 MCS...WHICH IS DEFINATELY NOT A BOX. it is a nice retro look.

geez if the Element were only a little bigger, i could park the mini in it and do away with my 3 car garage.

I do like the Element though as a homeowner...hauls a lot of stuff and is good in snow...MCS is pure FUN!!

Now this is also a box...



Just like my Jeep Cherokee was. I'm not sure why they stopped making it, and then started making the Commander.
