I laughed at the time, but he was right

Everyone loves a [girl in a] MINI

Or maybe they just love the mini?

If I knew I girl with a MINI, I would be extremely interested, infact any nice european car will do the trick for me. I know a girl with a beautiful Passat, and that was sweet. It helps that she is beautiful to begin with, and the car compliments her nicely.

Interesting Antecdote: When I found out that the above mentioned girl drove the Passat, I mentioned that I liked it in class (we sit next to eachother) and we were talking, and she just stopped short, and practacally yelled: YOU SHOULD TALK YOUR CAR IS ONE OF THE NICEST AT SCHOOL. I had to blush(in an extremely manly way) and humbly agree.

your answer is the mini is a niche car. its impractical and german.

Preludes and celicas were mass produced japanese cars. Not much rariety there , except if you drove the Celica GTS with turbo 4wd...

Its funny. The only people who ever stop me to ask about my mini are 40 - 50 year old men at gas stations who say, "whats the gas milage?" Im with the other folks that never get hit on. hehe
