MINI Reinvents Itself

I don't care what kind of changes were made. I still hate this car.

Thanks for a kick in the a$$, but they are freaking ugly and stupid. It shouldn't even be labeled a car.

You might be surprised. I am 6'2" and fit just fine when I rented one in San Francisco last fall. It was a fun little car and if I had a need for a small car, that would get strong consideration.

Well not this chick.

And if this lady drives a car....it has to be something with a little more class and elegance.

The Mini is a great car.

And as for fitting in it . . . .

I'm 6'4" and fit just fine. Back when I weighed 85 lbs more than I do now I still fit fine. You'd have to be one big motherf'er not to fit in one. Don't be deceived by it small appearance because it has plenty of room. A testament to it's excellent design. It's a very cleverly designed car on many levels.

(And if one is looking for class and elegance, the Mini certainly has more than a pickup truck).

But hey, that's just my opinion, and about eleventy-kabilllion satisfied Mini owners, the automotive press, and a bunch of design guilds seem to agree.

On a side note . . . hey y'all, winter is coming.

:santa:

I don't fit in one...

But I think I can modify it to fit. I want one.

Yeah, I could see 6'10" not fitting in that car.

If you do it, go for the "S".

I guess that means me.....but what I said was...."if I were to drive a car" I would drive something with more class and elegance. To me, that is not a classy or elegant car. Maybe a fun car, but not classy or elegant.

But hey, that's just my opinion.
