One of my friends told me a story of one of his rich friends, (who has a lot of money) went and tested a Ferrari, and then went and tested a MINI, and he ended up with the MINI. I think that is cool, but is that going to far?

r u kidding, rich people love the mini!!!

has anyone seen the Robb Report FEB 2003 (very rich mag) titled car of the year!!

Here are the results:

1. Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG (SWEET CAR!!!)
2. Land Rover Range Rover (another newly designed BMW)
3. Bentlety Arnage T (lol, one of the coolest around)
4. Ferrari 575M Maranello (speaks for itself)
5. Mercedes-Benz E500
6. Jaguar XKR
7. Dodge Viper SRT-10
8. Mini Cooper S (HELL YES)
9. Hummer H2

i think that list speaks for itself, lol, those r some pretty nice cars, the mini is atleast half the price of all of them, triple less than bently and ferrari lol!! what can i say, the rich people that know cars, know the mini cooper is the best!

anyone that loves luxurious, fast, and the best automobiles, knows the mini is the car to drive....

just the past summer i picked up another robb report cuz the saleen s7 was on it and in there was an article introducing the S and it was titled "The car that people who can drive anything love to drive, the new Mini Cooper S" it entails that these people who have jets and ferraris and lamborghinis desire mini coopers!

i also know a car collector w/ about 50 ferraris who just got a new red cooper s

lol

Any magazine that has the H2 listed in the top million cars can't be trusted.

I mean, it's not even a CAR!!!

It's not a light truck either.

"Trucks with a combined weight and payload capacity above 8,500 pounds, which at that time were commercial vehicles such as delivery trucks, were exempt from the restrictions. "
