these discussions about a car attracting a girl never fails to amuse me
though the car will most likely never get old to you, it will to her.

 

Yeah, and they ascribe way too much importance to income also. People shouldn't be judged on superficial qualities any more than they should be judged on race. Judging people based on their race just makes you a bigot.

I am a genuinely nice guy. (Just ask me!) I try to treat everybody with decency and respect, even people I tend to disagree with. I am intelligent and very down to earth. People who know me will generally agree with that.

BUT

To people who judge books by their covers, you'll get opinions all over the spectrum about me....

My voice sounds like a cross between Lewis Grizzard and Jeff Foxworthy, therefore a lot of people think I am a moron.

I work on my own cars, so I must be a grease monkey....

I only wear Rolex watches, so I just have to be an insufferable snob and love wasting money. (Nevermind the fact that no watch I ever tried previously ever lasted more than 3 months and was worth exactly ZERO as soon as I left the store with it. I can more than triple my money on my Rolexes.)

If you don't like me because I :

Drive a MINI;
Shoot clay targets;
Own a Camaro;
Work on my own cars;
Wear glasses;
Have brown hair;
Could possibly be losing some hair;
etc, etc, then it probably saves us both some time.

In a way, I suppose it's a blessing. People who judge you based on such insignificant qualities aren't worth your time and effort anyway.

Back to the debate,

Rawhyde

 

I agree, but I think they infact are worth your time. anyones opinions can be truely changed, and I believe everyone has something to offer everyone. I think its a good thing to have relationships (maybe not romantic) to learn. But then again im 17 and already know everything right

 

But...How are your teeth

 

Thanks for the welcome. To answer your question... Well, I wouldn't date a guy who wore make up either. I'm just kind of old fashioned, I guess.

 

 

Ok, I don't know what that is supposed to mean, but it sure doesn't sound nice.

 

A troll is an antagonizer of people.

For example it means coming onto a Mini Cooper site and saying "Your cars suck, Hondas are TEH WIN!!!"

It comes from the idea of "trolling" for suckers

 

I have a factory lift on my 2002 Tacoma 4 door that I use for a daily driver. I dont like driving the MINI s or my M3 in traffic, kind of a PITA with the stick and other drivers riding up on your rear. I notice in the truck that does not happen that much and it is easier to intimidate other drivers when you are bigger when you have to squeeze in. Taking 3 other persons out for lunch is not fun in the MINI either. So for me the truck is better. I installed nerf bars for the skirt hiking business.

 

Oh.

 

Actually, that's not exactly right.

It is how you check out a horse's general health. Maybe bamatt has farming roots?

 

I guess the next extension of that logic is how does men driving MINIs equate with them wearing make up?

 

Well, maybe not the trolling for suckers part; but what about the intentionally posting inflamatory, off-topic, insulting, or otherwise inappropriate messages part of the definition (otherwise known as logging onto a MINI site and posting that your cars suck...)?

 

Well, Mini's just seem kind of cute and girly to me, that's all. Most girls I know love them and guys don't. It's ok for guys to drive Minis, but that just doesn't do it for me. I still think lifted trucks are hot for a guy to drive. My BF's F150 is awesome. Anyway, didn't mean to offend anyone. Sorry!

 

I think that you have so far managed to offend most of the male Mini drivers that have read this, which is a pretty good start to your NAM posting

Where I come from, guys that drive lifted trucks are laughed at, it is considered that they try just a little too hard to be 'uber macho', and are probably trying to offset some latent none-uber-macho feelings or tendancies, then there is the BIG TRUCK == Small wedding tackle anology too .

Often lifted truck guys have mullets too.

Some guys use them for off-roading, but they tend to not be too popular with women that have decent levels of self esteem who tend to prefer weekends in Vegas over weekends clambering over rocks on 4x4 courses.....

Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but then again......

Seriously, take a look around, there are a lot of guys that post here, the vast majority of which drive Mini's. Mini's are classless, ageless, raceless and even gender and/or sexual orientationless. Probably more so than any other car on the market today

Oh yeah, before teh NAM police jump on me, much of this post is tongue-in-cheek.

or is it

 

How many times does this have to be said?

(I guess about once a month. )

 

well, to inform you I live in boerne TX, I had a lifted jeep.. and infact in boerne if your truck isn't lifted and has smoke stacks it isnt a truck.. when I sold the jeep to my uncle and got the mini all my GUY friends want to drive it

as far as the girl factor, easy to say girls enjoy coming back from a date in the mini rather than the doorless jeep...

 

You cannot believe whats in WIKI. Its not an authoritative sources. Its just a bunch of articles some strangers threw together with no scholarly backup.

This wasn't trolling ... it was speaking ur mind.

Bummer, I thought you were serious

Thats too bad because I know lots of classy women who like the outdoors, are willing to hike, like going down trails and still hit the tables in Vegas. They are not mutually exclusive

Now lets see .... tongue in cheek of course

Minis are classless
Agreed. They really are.

MINIs are ageless
Dunno about that. The first gen is looking tired now

MINIs are raceless
True, not too many MINIs actually win races

MINIs are genderless
hmm, dunno about that. I see far more Women driving MINis than say ... H1s. Sounds like chick car to me

Just kidding. you set yourself up for that.

 

Well, everyone is a stranger until you meet them. The people who wrote the entries in the Encyclopedia Britannica are strangers, too. And just what is "scholarly backup"?

 

I've driven a lot of different cars, but the Mini isn't just a car...it's a CUTE car! Men and women both have approached me and asked about the MC. IT's a much better magnet for attracting people than a truck.

 

you should be able to pick up women taking the bus, anyone who buys a car for that purpose isn't doing themselves any favors

 

It's still a cute car and it does draw people regardless of dating issues or not, the MINI just can't help itself!!!
