You sound like an interesting person.
I like the way you view input from others a important but only to evaluate yourself from what sounds like a good sense of self.
However, I did see the Funbox in the wrong way and the wife did also.
As others have said, do what you want and let small minds be small.

I guess perception of opinion is a multi-faceted subject. Perhaps what I categorize as "un-phased" is a misnomer. As a 20-year-old, I am by nature acutely aware of people's opinions of me, my MINI, etc... However, I don't think that those opinions define me. When I first decided I wanted a MINI, I got a lot of the typical reaction that "those cars are gay". But I wanted one, so I got one anyway. By contrast, I've talked to many guys around my age who have told me outright that they'd never drive a MINI because people think it's "cute" or "gay", regardless of the fact that the MINI will run circles around whatever "manly" vehicle these individuals invariably drive. My post on how other's percieve your MINI was meant as more of an observation of this kind of thing, rather than an outright objection to it.
So who knows what to call it, exactly - I'm no psychologist. Certainly being "aware" of opinion is a facinating way to look at yourself from a different perspective, but I suppose its up for debate as to whether or not that in some way affects you.

Keep smiling and don't let anyone ruin your MINI experience and the right to express yourself.

To my dismay, I was informed today by some co-workers that my new vanity plate has a slang designation that I was previously unaware of. Of course, I've had the plate on for a week now and these are the first people to pick up on it, so I'm wondering how widely known the term actually is...
Does anyone else find issue with this plate? I mean, I feel like my intended meaning for it makes sense in context and all, but still...
