Just happened to get out of work early tonight and strolled into a mid town bar.
Started chatting with a fireman who was in attendance with his wife. Firefighter
was fascinated by cooper. He had never seen one before.I offered to take him for
a quick run. His wife threatened to divorce him on the spot if he went on ride with me in Cooper. I felt bad for him, but he had to take the ride even though he was putting his marriage in jepoardy. Being a professional driver ,(gas tankers) it was easy to demonstrate the handling and agility of the car and bring a massive smile
to his face .I kept her under 115 mph and I think the 90 mph exit ramp sold him. When I returned him to the midtown bar 20 minutes later, his wife was livid and was stomping away furious that he disobeyed her orders .I may have destroyed their marriage. Am I satan? should I feel guilty? Is it all my fault? should I do it again to another unsuspecting passenger? Please free me of the guilt I am feeling...

Nahhh, you couldn't be satan as I doubt the old prince of darkness wouldn't be dumb enough to let himself be inserted in the personal argument between a stranger man and his wife.

 

A woman that wouldn't want a ride in a Cooper herself???????
I think she may be Satan! What kind of moron wouldn't want to join in the fun.

If she has a problem with a simple thing like that, I bet the marriage is allready doomed.

Wives like that give guys like me a red chapped a$$.

 

ROFLMAO...

if he jumped in the car to test drive w/a woman driver , I am sure that would be grounds for divorce [in her eyes]

 

If she can't come along, or wait patiently while her husband occupies a minor amount of time with something that greatly interests him, than she is either a controling biznatch who has lost sight of reality, or their marriage is skating on divorse papers already.

I wouldn't feel guilty for a moment. Pity for the fireman yes. Guilty, no.

I agree completely, and I also feel bad for that poor fireman. Wait til he comes home with a MINI, then she'll really be ticked off!

I think I've finally figured it out... Ants is neither a manager at A.F, nor a motoring advisor, nor an illustrator. Actually, he's a psychology or sociology grad student who hangs out posting garbage on this site as part of a research project to see just how much b.s. we can tolerate before seeking him out and forcing both of his feet further into his mouth.

 

Feel no guilt...I was married to a b**ch like this (I'm assuming a lot here, I know) 13 years ago...seriously controlling and knew how to turn the screws to get her way. Wound up with clynically psycho. She disliked my friends and constantly tried to corral me into what she thought was acceptable. Eventully, she went too way far. (...long story) Anyway, I hope your friend is strong enough to tango with this type...hopefully she just had a headache or something. Its not your fault, though...(its the Coopers :smile: :smile: :smile: )

 

yello - Definitely do not lay any guilt on yourself here. There are obviously deeper issues involved with this [pathetic excuse for a] relationship.

 

Worry not, yello...I'd say if she was that pissed off over such a minor thing, then my guess is there are much larger issues at hand. Her anger at such a small incident is just a symptom. I absolve you from all guilt, and I'm not even Catholic.

 

i once dated a girl who hated MINIS... and as some of you may know, that ended miserably. so now i use the MINI test: if she loves the MINI, then she's acceptable. if she doesn't... it is goodbye. it really works to weed out the bad ones!

 

We should all rejoice in the revelations, Brothers and Sisters - the gospel according to MINI should be spread far and wide! fear not the philistines but go forth and make believers of those awash in evil SUV-ism ... with the Winged Medalion as our shield, we shall be triumphant over the bitchy forces of evil and darkness ...

Ahhhhhhhh-men....or should that be
Ahhhhhhhh-person?

Gesundheit!

 

I bet the fireman couldn't sleep that night. He was figuring out the numbers in his head, trying to decide how to bring up the topic of the MINI purchase to his satan wife

... or trying to figure how many more options he could put on if he dumped his satan wife ...

 

Me thinks the MINI is better at bringing people together than tearing them apart...but once in a while....

I'm wondering what your boss(es) would think if they ran a search of all your posts on MCO and reflected on them? Do you think they would like or care what you have to say? And would you care about that?
