    I like pulling up next to hot rods and 5.0 Mustangs and when they look over I look back at them and say "cute car, try to keep up in the twisties ahead"

    PA has lots of twisty roads.:Thumbsup:

    Minis owned by women break more often than those owned by men????

    Or, maybe, women actually repair the things that go wrong????

    Truth be known.... The dealer was having a sale on new shoes for the MINI....

    Whenever words "sale" and "shoes" are used in the same sentence.... Well.... The planets align.... More women show up....:D

    I only see chicks and old dudes in MINIs in SoCa. I guess I'm one of the old dudes.

    It's also about how your car looks and how you drive it.

    I would never put eyelashes on my Mini but I know those that do. I don't care for it at all but then again its not my car.

    Hey it's all about whatever floats your own personal boat and everyone can be different.

    Paulo Uber lashes add 2hp per lash. I know this because of the extensive testing that I've done and am unwilling to share with you.

    Unfortunately they will rust through 2 months after application, despite having no metal in their construction! Go figure!

    Ha Girl Car - Only if it the Convertible!

    I decided I wanted a MCS, so I traded a Triple Black Cadillac STS for it.

    I got a MCSa (yes I can drive stick and like stick but really like the paddle shift), and bought the girl friend a Mustang GT at the same time.

    Take a moment to think about that:

    Dude - Mini Cooper S
    Girl - Mustang GT

    Seriously though I see plenty of Dudes in the Hatches, if I see a convertible there is a 5/7 chance its a girl and that same percentage that its Justa'.

    I guess nothing screams heterosexual like phallic symbols and little boys urinating on things.

    I have long passed the era in American history when I am excited, worried, or make particular notice that there are women in the same establishment as me.
    I figure if chicks are patronizing the same dealership as me, and bought a MINI (like me), then I can surmize that chicks dig what I got.
    I thought thats what we were here for.
