It's Not a GIRL CAR It's MY CAR!!!

Who gives a **** so long as you love what YOU own and DRIVE.
I hate to see these posts coming around all the time, but at least the original post here was well thought out.
Cheers

me too

 

Well, those who are silly enough to refer to specific cars as "girl cars" need to be reminded of the Mini's awesome rallye history at Monte Carlo. 'Nuff said.

 

I love the list of " mens cars " In our local "playground" we see most every one of them at one time or another and there isnt one on that list that a well prepped mini can't give fits to or at the very least hold its own for a WHOLE lot less money

1. Porsche 911 coupe, $70,095 - $193,765
2. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, $28,504 - $35,274

cripes, this again?? I'm with Om....lock this up, cuz it's moot and irritating in it's mootness.
If you have to worry whether your automobile defines you...well...then...you have a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggg and ugly road ahead of you.
:impatient

 

Girl car...hmmm ok, I admit it...I'm a 6'4 220 pound girl...the mustache is just there to hide my true identity.

 

I think some will say it's a girls car only because you know girls love how cute the Mini is...i say if you're a guy, take advantage of this and get a Mini and the girls will come looking for rides
It's a win win situation

 

The first I ever heard of a MINI being considered a "girl's car" was right here on this site. Best I can tell, the perception doesn't exist anywhere else.

 

Yeah, I love hearing this. Right up to the point that all they see is my tail lights.

 

I'm a girl, and i love MINI's.

But i want to marry a man with a MINI Preferably Electric Blue, of course.

And that list of Men's cars sounds like my office park.

 

Well put!

I'm with the crowd (hey Toastie, how's it going?) who thinks that this question is irritatingly stupid, comes up waaayyyy to often, and that people who care about it really need to grow up. And every time it comes up, I feel compelled to jump in and say so.

And I'm out.

 

well my wife hasn't even driven my February, 2005 yet, prefers the volvo wagon....

by the way, whats up with the Boston confusion?

 

???

 

gee, let's talk about something relevant... my dad is teaching me how to drive in 2 weeks on a manual S

 

That poor S!!!

 

I've driven it aroun a bit already, and no clutchy-burny smell, so that's good. BTW, I pulled the car out of the garage with the wallet key one day at random and my parents just stared and thought, "who taught my son how to drive stick!"

 

 

I thought MINIs are a guys car, not a girls car! I've met way more male MINI owners than females, and most of my female friends don't even, you know, get it. The lure of the MINI eludes them. They think Giles looks like a clown car, whereas all of my male friends want to drive him! I now get props for being a cool car chick!

Plus, at the first MINI event I attended (MINIs at Michigan International Speedway in Oct.), I was the only female driver out of 24 MINIs. I realize some of the MINIs there were co-owned by spouses, and there were plenty of women there as navigator, but I was the only female present with my own, personal MINI.

 

Sheesh!

Okay, if the MINI is a girl's car, then I'm the bearded lady. Sign me up for the East German women's powerlifting team.

 

Yes and so are Miata's

 

I feel the same way

 

i've owned both.

But it was a guy that got me into both of those cars, and plenty other guys i met through him that owned both a mini and a miata
