Sometimes friends don't know when to stop teasing. If they are there for you when you really need them, you wouldn't want to cut them loose.
Now, getting even is another story. Why not find some dude that is ....say.... 6'8" tall. Then challenge your friends to a duel. Make sure your passenger seat is lowered all the way, have your tall friend climb into each of you and your friends vehicles and check out the leg room. The one with the most gets lunch from all the others. You might be surprised at the outcome.

I've never even commented on their hugh gas guzzler trucks that each woman drives exactly 1 mile or less to work each day. Besides the obvious dream of keying each one's car, what else can I do? :impatient NOT ONE has agreed to a drive in my car to see the difference a Mini could make in their lives and yet, they persist in being small minded people. I'd like to hear some ideas on revenge. Oh Huh Yeah... not revenge...perhaps, retorts of a revenge nature?

I finally got one of my friends to take a ride with me...she was so impressed with the handling of my Mini, that she now tells the others to hush about my car!! Mia now calls it the Super Mini!!

Actually those kind of comments would make me laugh and I'd play along!! Example: "Ok, I'm going to lunch now, it may take me awhile to wind up my BMW reject/VW wannabe....I hope I make it to subway in my toy car!!" Play with them...and laugh!! You have a fab car and they know it, they are just trying to get under your skin and they have!! True, they are acting like kids in junior high..but who cares? Drive away in your very cute mini and just smile!! Enough said?!

Or you can just ignore them; they'll get bored and go away eventually.

A few of my friends used to snap small comments here or there about my "small", "chick", "clown", etc. etc. car.
They all stopped when I took each of them out on a drive just through a large parking lot. Now all I here is "are you taking the MINI? Can I ride?"
