Thought I'd share, though I wouldn't have had I not read the "Are MINI's gay" post....

Funny enough to deserve it's own thread I think...

Was driving on a local road (HWY 436 for those familiar with central Fla) and was at a red light when two "rednecks" in a beater truck rolled up beside me.
The following conversation ensued:

Redneck: Hey man, are you gay or something, (looking at the car)
Me: No, but if you lads are looking for a date I'm sure there's a bar or two locally that will work for ya...
Me again (noticing the rednecks are now pissed): No man, You didn't notice the Boston Red Sox stickers all over it? (Trying to lighten the mood) Sox fans aren't gay!
Redneck: Stickers ain't gonna' make ya straight boy.... (or something like this)
Me: Neither does a piece of s**t truck with oversized wheels...

Light changed and I was GONE!


Love these moments life throws at ya...

 

LOL!! That's great!!!

I think it was hilarious, people have made comments bout my car, but I love her to death.

 

Did I miss something?????

 

Pfft. I used to drive a Miata. You want to hear some comments spend a month in one of those.

Latest issue of Car and Driver had a funny column on the last page this month. Had to do with Miatas and this topic. I'd post it, but this thread would probably get locked...

 

Then post it in a new thread and let that one get locked !

Ps. Good stuff, Roeri.

 

I was told my car was on the "Top 10 Gay Cars List" from a family member. I ended up telling that person, I don't buy cars to impress him, I buy them cause I like them.

 

I love when people tailgate me and follow me to where i'm going to be a tough guy... It's funny because i guess they don't realize a 6'2 200lbs guy can fit in a mini, which changes their attitude real quick.

 

Boy I hear THAT!

I also have an MGB, and between that and the MINI, idiots seem to think there's some kind of push-over behind the wheel......

...... until 6'7", 280 pound ME gets out. I love the look on their faces. A friend of mine once said that when I got out of a car, I just kept getting out, and out, and out......

 

Well, tell them they were wrong, here's the most recent list, and the MINI didnt make it:

PS I hate rednecks... been trying to escape them my entire adult life.

 

Why is it that these macho morons feel the need to tailgate small cars? I drove an Accord for years and never had this problem ...now I get pickups tailing me so close all I can see is grille.

One time a redneck in a beater pickup tailed me and we wound up at the same shop. He hopped down out of his truck doing his best tough guy impression and I got up out of my MINI ...all 6' and 220 pounds of me. He was about 5'10" and half my weight.

"How the hell do you fit in that thang?" he asked.

"Its easy, my head is not as swelled as yours, so there is plenty of room." I replied.



dean.

Shoot... I may have to rethink this whole MINI ownership thing... if Yahoo Answers is telling me that my car is a girls' car...

 

Ha!! Some ho already called you gay!!
The stupidity is strong with those.

 

Lol... that's all a lot of girls (such as those commenting on yahoo) pay attention to, looks... and I bet none of them even knew what a Mini was before the new one and 'The Italian Job'..

One of my friends, before riding in mine, commented that they were girl cars/gay cars, and said "So you're going to have to show me why you bought this thing..." then after a spirited ride pinned to his seat with his kidneys touching he wanted a Mini. He's 6 foot 3 inches, and has more leg room in it than his Ford Explorer...

 

This was the absolute best reply EVER!

"As a car guy I would be ashamed of you. That is a girls car.

FYI - boys cars are go fast cars and girls cars a cute.
A girl can pull off a boys car but not the other way around."

Although I allow for the fact that people have the right to an opinion....

Wow...

 

What the hell kind of question is that anyway??? If the guy asking the question is worried about self image then he should have asked something like "Do you think guys who drive MINI Coopers are gay?" The way the question, and subsequant detail, reads is all wrong. It's a stpid question with obviously stupid people answering it (Gromit is exempt from previous statement)

Regardless...it takes a big man to drive a small car. Big cars are for Chumps!

 

I can totally relate to this post!! I've been bullied a couple times while driving my cooper, it's not even funny.
1)one time I was driving on the beltway and I had to turn on my windsheild wipers(due to the car in front of me turned on his/her) and the guy behind me started giving my "the finger".
2)2nd time, a park van pulled out in front of me (totally his fault) and when I waved for him to go ahead, he gave me a very mean look, acted like he was going to get out of his van and proceeded slowly with his left turn while saying/shouting bad words at me (I didn't hear them 'cause I had my windows rolled up).
In both these incident my cooper took it like a man.
Live and Let live, Peace brothers and sisters!

 

Wasn't me that being called gay, it was the response to the OP.

 

<-- 5 foot 7 inches, ~120lbs... but I carry a biiiiiiiiiiig stick!! No really, I don't like big cars either.

Moving a Lincoln Navigator around tight quarters between Benz's can be nerve wracking, or a big truck with a camper shell, those are the worst.

 

I had to post in there.

 

And I gave you a thumbs up too!

 

Uh oh, now you did it.

Next some antagonist will be trying to call you out to race you in their Civic with a fart tip, cut springs, unpainted body kit, and triple decker spoiler.
