I guess this all depends on what stage of life you're in. My now ex-girlfriend used to constantly say that if I ever treated a girl like I treat my car, I'd be in great shape.

But then again some opinions come in clearly, and some are just static.

Go with what makes you smile the most!

I 2nd that, but I think a girlfriend would be less expensive.
Girlfriend less expensive? Possibly. Wife? NEVER!

...he does. But I know that if there was some situation where he'd have to choose one or the other (both falling off a cliff, carjacking, I become deathly allergic to Minis), he'd choose me...then with his great insurance get a new one (unless I really was allergic to Minis...then I'd be toast).

You just get used to it...or get your own.

I think I need a cigarette....

Girlfriend?

I'd take a girlfriend over the car, but I'll take the car over my WIFE!

My wife is OK with my Mini, but I think she would have a problem with a girlfriend!

They may not give it but I have seen plenty of cars that get it for you.

Obviously you dont have the heated seats! mmmm...nice!

Since you put it that way.....obviously the car! I mean the car is less time and money to maintain than a girlfriend.

Now the value of a marriage far surpasses the value of a car but we are just talking about someone who shows up for a free meal and entertainment once or twice a week here. The MINI gives me entertainment everyday of the week!

You've gotten a lot of answers ... some people are aghast that even the question was asked ... others ... well they have their own priorities.

WHAT do you say? A car or your significant other? What is YOUR opinion ...

That's a no-brainer. If you don't say girlfriend, then you don't deserve her!

Your Mini won't leave you or cheat on you... And if you sell it, it won't come after you for alimony.

Human nature vs machine, which is more reliable?

Which do we love more? Some things are better left unsaid.

I think there is something strange going on here. Because this is your first post and you went right for the kill...Are you checking up on your Husband or Boyfriend?

Have you noticed the originator STILL hasn't answered what "They" thought?

She is probably beating on her boyfriend right now. She caught him.
