Your MINI's so ugly that you have to put a pork chop in the front seat to get the dog to jump in. Your MINI's so ugly that if ugliness were a crime it would get the electric chair. Your MINI's so ugly Rice Krispies won't even talk to it.

There... feel better now

Look at the cartoon cars that are in many NAM signatures... tell me that the smiling MINIs with eyes aren't cute

MINIs are cute, fun, and badass at the same time.

Your MINI has some food stuck in it's teeth.

My R53 still crawls into bed with us at night when it thunders out. The R56 is a "big girl" though and stays in the garage (sometimes with a night light).

Thats one of the cutest cars I've seen around.

Don't you just want to pull that tow ring and see if it blows up to normal size?

Well I bought my '07 MCSa because she IS so darn cute! I fell in love with the cuteness of MINIs when I first saw them at my local dealership. My british husband (boyfriend at that time) informed me they were british made and I fell even more in love with them. And why did I got with an S vs. a Cooper? Because I like the center dual tailpipes look. Not for any other reason. After getting Scarlett and having her for just over a month now, I can't help but think each time I got outside to get into her how cute she is. I feel like I am driving a toy! That being said, not ALL MINI's are cute. Some are as people have said.......badass! But my Scarlett, she is simply CUTE!!

That's not a tow ring is it

I thought it was the auto inflator rip cord

Paint it flat black everywhere, Limo-tint the windows, and install red headlights. Then see what happens

So let me get this right. When women say "that's cute" they are actually referring to the CAR

Geez all this time I thought they were referring to ME

As long as I don't hear "That little thing is cute" in the bedroom, I'm good with all this cuteness.

Is that where the heat is coming from? Is she leaving her night light on during the day?

Two of my new clients over the past two days, both older ladies, as soon as they see my car: "That is such a CUTE little car!!"

The all blackness of it doesn't get rid of the cute comments, but they don't really bother me

. I am content with driving a cute car.

Cute? You be the judge:

OMG!!! It's so cute. I want one!!!

I'd rather have my car referred to as cute over having a "bubbly" personality anytime. My car is not bubbly. Maybe I should've got a black one.

Got one today

Got a "that's a cute car" comment this afternoon...from a guy on a horse. I decided to take a very long route home and hit some twisties and hills. His wife and possible daughter said the same thing.

He also commented "I bet it corners like a cart", I replied yes it does. Hit the sport button and rolled out with a bit of urgency (not rudely), and some tunes and enjoyed the rest of my drive home.

Rough lunch time.

My neighbors wife called my car cute ...super cute. Her husband just rolled his eyes. The next time I saw her she said she just couldn't get over how cute my car was ...it was the cutest thing ever, she said. This was killing my ego.

Now she has one ...she went out and found an '02 with only 15K miles on it. Her husband thinks its boss.

There's a word I haven't heard since the late 60s ...boss. That beats cute any day.

I have tried to make it mean - meany cooper - but my wife still thinks it's cute, although she finds it a bit claustrophobic....

Business wise, my people and my customers 'respect' it as a real sporting car, since they know it is my daily driver, and my 'other' car is a fire-breathing Porsche, so I would not own a 'cute' car unless it had some merit....

No it's the same for men, and everyone smiles after a drive!
