>>"Does it have good gas mileage," asked by some weirdo who proceeded to tell me his life story with his toyota and the gas mileage it got.
>>"Not the way I drive," is my usual response. :smile:

I had this same thing happen to me in Darien, CT. This guy was telling me that his second-gen Integra was getting something like 33 mpg.
A)What made you think I give half a dizzam about your milage?
B) I seriously doubt your crica 1990 'Teg runs like a hybrid (There was a black smear all over the bumper above his tailpipe)

Other than that:
-Girls dig the Coop. I think we've established this. Mostly it's "Ooooh! You have a MINI!" (This can be the only time it is good for a guy to hear this from a girl.)
-Most commonly heard: "Is it fast?"
-Most commonly heard (inside the car): "Where's the door handle?"
-After my friend drove it: "Dude, this is totally not a chick car."

Don't forget it. Run as fast and as far away as you can!

 

My neighbor's wife upon seeing my PW/B MINI with dark window tint exclaimed that " it looks like a Double Stuff Oreo Cookie on wheels !"

 

from a lady working in a liquor store (in north carolina, so add a southern accent) "I really like those ugly lookin' cars"
still not sure how that makes sense, but oh well.

 

"Hey buddy, someone stole half your car!!" and "Hey, where'd the other half of your car go?"

Both of these lines were from the 1970's and were used on the now defunct (extinct) AMC Pacer. Don't you just love originality? :smile:

 

"must be easy to park"

"can i drive it", although this is more implied vs. directly asked.

Are you sure you're not talking about the AMC Gremlin/Spirit? The Pacer was the one with all the glass that looked like an inverted bathtub. The Gremlin was the chopped off looking one. I had the misfortune to own one.

>>(from officer) I didnt realize that thing was so fast...( i got clocked above 140..... (also helped i knew him and some of his "buddies&quot

How'd you get this thing over 140? I thought they were governed at 135? I would imagine the governor would be hard to get rid of since its probably built into the computer.

 

A while back I made up this bumper sticker and placed it in the boot window.

That sticker rules, I might have to make up something like that when I get mine.

Every Ohioan girl: "Oh, its so cuuuute!" Or, "I'm sure you get this a lot, and you probably hate it, but its cute!"

Also, 'cos of the paintjob, I get a few random "Go back to England!"s from time to time.

 

I still want to know how that one guy got his mini up to 140!

 

unfortunately, I also get a lot of "it's (so) cute," especially from girls...drives me nuts.

Shortly after I originally got it, I had a group of teenagers drive by while screaming "that's the ugliest car I've ever seen" out of the window...pretty funny/ironic since they were in some 80's clunker.

fortunately, I tend to care little about what others say and consider it a cool car despite what anyone says

So the MCS is governed at 135? Well, that explains a few things...
