"no Pns Nv"

 

LOL Well coming from True Redneckville I can tell you that when we go to a Redneck bar (and there are plenty) Most of the ppl I talk to are accually interested in it and want to look in it. Almost all the time the "I wonder if that thing can drive up in the bed of the ol dodge" conversation comes up. LOL But I havn't gotten on bad comment other than someone saying they owned a golf cart that was bigger. I wonder if Mini's are allowed on golf courses now??? HMMMMM.... But really, Gender wise, I think you can order your mini to look like a car a girl would drive or one a guy would drive. So I really think it's a pretty neutral car. Doesn't one of the guys from silverchair or sevendust own one?

 

I have never heard a bad word spoken about my MC,but I do get pestered about how often I wash/clean it.And some close friends are concerned about how much time I spend here on NAM

 

You know that magazine "Torque?" well they called the mcs girly and they recommended the mcs and mcsc for only women drivers in one of thier issues a while back. gee i know a lot of other automobile critics that would disagree to that. well i'm not reading thier magazine anymore due to they jump into conclusion about a car before they actually drive one and try to appreciate it... what kind of car magazine they think they are? but who cares about crappy magazines, our car is in the sub zero section wall of TOP GEAR!!!

 

i have been working the scca road racing curcit for the past 2 tears,(sebring, daytona,moroso,homestead.) always draws a crowd,mostly guys who know cars. thumbs up always. car is very modifed (dumped,swayed,smoked,decromed,aero on front, flik wheels 18.s miltec header&cat, 19%,gaic,injectors,crank pulley,alta cai, power- coated gas cap,) the list goes on forever. girls say cute: guys say it rocks.

Hey now, lets not turn this into a "my car's not girly, your car is girly" thread. There are just as many ballsy VW's out there as there are MINI's (if not more they've been around longer) and while I don't exactly agree w/VW's decision to include a flower holder in the dash of every Beetle, you can always use it to hold something more manly if you really have an issue with it (or just take it out) As for the Del Sol, i'll admit the only time i ever saw a guy driving one was when my friend (female) told me to drive hers (hey she's cute i wasn't gonna say no ) But that being said, I'm sure there are guys out there who do and there is no reason to drag them into this. We have a great car despite what the naysayers my think, lets not make ourselves feel better by bringing down everyone else (idiot SUV drivers are excluded from that last statement )
Oh and just to make sure no one gets offended, i'm referring to SUV drivers who are idiots, not saying that all SUV drivers are idiots.

 

Hmmm. I'm thinking of having a bumpersticker made:

 

A simple and elegant response to those who think a MINI Cooper isn't "manly" enough, is a "girl's" car, a "gay's" car, a "to little for a big stud like me car" etc etc. etc.

"If it's good enough for little "E"...It's good enough for me"!!!

 

Funny you should say that - I took a guy for a few very fast laps around the block (per request by my boss/dad). Apparently he was still so freaked out after he got out of the car that he actually *did* crap his pants! I tell ya that Spec stage 1 clutch and M7 flywheel make for some bloody looooooong burnouts!

I also have a tiny little window sticker that reads "Undercompensating" on both of my Minis.

I usually don't get much "gay" flak about my car. Usually just get blank stares and pointing due to its paintjob. Any "gay" comments I do have I just brush off, I have a few gay friends that all own or used to own Minis. I also have straight friends that drive them. Who cares what others think? We know our cars are superior!

Besides, if something as trivial as a so-called "gay" car is bothering someone, then they have deeper issues to be worrying about.

 

Oh yeah, I *did* get flak from guys when I drove a bright red VW New Beetle. Gotta say, that was a pretty decent car, even with the 2.Sl0w engine!

 

i'd stick one on my roof just to let the h2s see it!

 

one of the first test drives felt kind of ackward because of the
color scheme the demo car had....it just wasn't my kind of style.

but the color and packaging i have on my MCS is definitely me.
If my MCS looks gay, then I like gay cars. so what?

 

I'm a guy who thinks of his MINI as male.Does that make me gay
Now, keep in mind, I'm old enough to remember when Coke came in a bottle, and gay meant you were happy

 

Amen brother
