I forgot the damn thing actually looks pretty good when it's clean. Not too shabby for ten years old and having the snot run out of it in the 2004 Cannonball One Lap of America.

Good looking car. My wife would love one.
I'd be concerned about the cost of maintenance/parts long term. But i confess I don't know much about it.
 
Wow, she's a real beauty. I like how the roll bars are lower for seeing out the back. Sweet color, and those black rims look great.

I think I know what my next car is going to be now!
 
You guys will have to give me advice in a year or two on shopping for one for my wife.
 
All I know is mechanics hate to work on that car. Other than that I don't know anything about them.
 
Since we're on the topic of Mini Coopers, here's a link to a commercial that only airs in Canada. It was created for the Canadian Olympic team featuring Minis performing the national anthem with actual Mini sounds.

 
There "cute". :) I think I you guys bought convertibles so that you can fit the SUAV's in the back seat. LOL.
 
I thought your post was going to be that you washed your smelly balls after teabagging some douchebags.
 
My kid has a Toyota Echo and in Minnesota the only thing smaller on the road is a Mini or a Smart car. They get demolished when it snows.
 
I won't even go into the dynamics of vehicle crashes, but the "larger vehicle survives all accidents" theory is complete and utter bullshit. Of course if you drop an F-350 straight down on a smart car from 10 feet it would likely crush it, but that has nothing to do with a vehicle accident on a public road. the Smart actually has a pretty stout structure as does the Mini. The car may be "demolished" but that's a moot point in an accident anyway, I just want the car to give its life for mine. The whole world can't drive H1's. ;-)

Please get into it because I'll have to disagree there. I have a 2001 Chevy 1500 2WD which I get teased about because I live in Minnesota and most people think that 4WD = no slip n slide and can get out of anything. I can see interstate 35 from my apartment window. It runs from MN to TX. Most of the vehicles in the ditch or center,on my way to or from home, are 4WD trucks and SUV's. Firm believer it's the drivers not the vehicles. I've never been stuck in snow on a road and drive it out ice fishing once in awhile. I wouldn't take it off road in mud and shit because it probably would get stuck or broken and then I couldn't work. I like 2WD because it gets better mpg, less parts to break, and all my friends that have 4WD never turn the shit on. Plus it was 7G cheaper when I bought it.
Having said all that- my girlfriend has a Charger, my daughter an Echo and I have 4 other cars just sitting around either being worked on to sell or for driving when I don't feel like throwing money down the tubes for gas. Plus I have a couple cycles, which are even more unsafe. It is fucking scary as shit driving around when most of the drivers on the road are in vehicles that you can't see in their windows when you're next to them. It's not about what crash tests were done, what consumer reports says, or what kind of BS the dealer feeds you about a safe automobile. If you're buying into that kind of advertising BS then I feel bad. J.D. Powers and associates is a marketing firm not a consumer watchdog. Awards.....paid for, not won. It's just common sense. Bigger car smash smaller car, end of story. Deer + Mini = hoof in the eye.
I personally don't feel safe when someones bumper is at eye level. My 2 door spec comment was just a jab. It was a commercial in the late 90's for some crap, can't remember. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, I wasn't trying to get into an automobile argument. I can if you want though, I went to a HS that had an auto program, worked in the industry for 13 years until 2001, built 6 vehicles from the ground up with my dad and uncle and love to argue.
My comment was actually not what I wanted to say but I was just goofing around. I really wanted to say "All that money for that gay ass little car? Is Soulzz riding shotgun?"
