Check out the last issue of GO MINI magazine, article written by a Gf who was jealous of her Bf's new mistress, so keeping her enemies close they all took a road trip, I won't spoil the rest but I will say the autobahn was involved ...

All I have to say is, when was the last time your MINI got mad when you rode her hard and how ever why you wanted? exactly.

so..lessee...females are rated by how good they are in the sack, how well they behave, called "hoes" and the car wins because it doesn't give any dificulties where frail egos are involved.
Man o man. sad.

What she said ...

The question is ... troll? Are they serious? Pulling everyone's leg? I mean seriously, what human being would place a car above their significant other?
(unless it was a Ferrari of course, but certainly not a $25K car )

It does seem curious that the person that started the thread has not answered the question. Me I'm still looking for the person that doesn't require the answer. Bet she'll probably own a MINI though.

No kidding. It is not even a question - such an easy choice and so obvious.

Humans are such a pain in the neck. Everything from nagging to lying and cheating. I could go on.

Whereas the MINI - nothing but joy.

As I said - no doubt - its the MINI.

Can you even believe that some people would pick a human? What are they thinking?

That's the way to do it. I'd always pick my male over an object, but it's great to know I will never have to, with my MINI or any other car and vice versa with him and his car.

He's #1, but one of the reason's he's #1 is that he'd never try to take me away from something I love.

The Truth

Well, I would have to say my girl friend, hands down. However, my girl friend made this post so pretty sure I can't say otherwise without being severely punished.

But in all honesty, they're completely different things. My girl friend is the reason to wake up in the morning, but my car is the reason to make the 35 mile drive to her house.

truth be told i am tired of being nagged on by my gf about my love of my mini...there is nothing wrong with taking pride in the appearance of your car...it is a reflection of the owner...personally i would love to meet a girl who own's a mini...at least they understand the feeling and what its like to own one ya know

I've had to make that decision for every other obsession I've ever had (road racing, skiing, flying, motorcycling) that has taken me over the edge, and I have always choosen my sweetheart of 30 years. The MINI will probably get to that point too.

This response begs too many obvious and perhaps disturbing questions. And I really don't want to know (...or do I ?).

Interesting question...

You see my girlfriend is kind of an accessory to the MINI so there is no choose.

Not all MINI girls are the same, some love the cars, some it is just another car. And check out the GO MINI article for advice on having the gf and the MINI getting along. Take a road trip, big help, she learns why you love the car and all three get to spend time together.

She loves the trips and the destinations, but can't understand the expensive "enhancements".

Get her a pair of shoes the next time the MINI gets new shoes, it will start hurt the wallet, depend upon what mods you do, but she'll be happy
