Your MINI or your girlfriend?

So I notice that most MINI owners are slightly obsessed and so I was wondering if you had to choose between your girlfriend and your MINI in a hypothetical situation what would you chose?

aaah.. good question.. but it depends on the situation. "ill kill your girlfriend or drop this tractor on your mini".. well, lemme take it for one more spin, yeah it would be a two week long spin.. but i would come back. "ill punch your girlfriend or key your entire car" let her have it, she deserves it anyway.. hahaha.. kidding.. a week long vacation with your GF or a week long road trip in your coop. Alex, ill take the coop for 5 hundred. seriously tho, you have to give us some scenarios.

MINI right now. It doesn't confuse me or ignore me. It's always ready to go for a ride.

I usually play it off to my SO that I would choose the MINI over her any day. But like foster200 said, it depends on the situation.

heehee.. yeah.


MINIs can be replaced by faster, newer MINIs, my other half cannot. Besides, if mine was gone I'd just drive his. It would hurt like hell, but I'd never choose an object over him. I'd just cry until I got an Elise anyway.

After listening to Tom Leykis for about half an hour, I am beginning to wonder how anyone stays together at all.

Best. Night. Ever.
