do you talk to your MINI as if its a person? I mentioned that I do this to someone I work with and they looked at me and said "what? its just a car" So-- am I alone?
:cornut: I talk to my MARGI(08 R56 BRG MCS/JCWm) all the time. I would venture to guess that many/most MINIacs talk to their MINIs. Kitty MINI even goes out to her garage to check on her baby at bed time. Jason
When Henrietta takes a sharp turn so smooth and accelerates through I always give her a pat on the steering wheel. If I'm really pumped I yell "at a girl!" Typically I talk to her like a jockey does to a horse. :cornut:
I've even talked to screw drivers. Not gonna say what I've said to 'em, Nathan would ban me fer sure.
I do have to say I am guilty of this as well. My wife often refers to her as some sort of Prostitute or Hooker.
Ummmm.... Me thinks you might be showing your MINI too much affection..... You might need to initiate something like "Date Nite" with your wife..... Worked for me.....
LOL - well that would be hard since I am the wife...but maybe my hubby needs to do date night with me !! :biggrin5: And - I am with KittyMini - I also check on/ say goodnight to WIlliam before bed !! hahahaha
Oh and I am also glad to know I am not alone --- maybe its a MINI thing but its nice to know other people talk to their cars !
Basiclly you and the rest of the respondants to this thread are completely insane and should seek profesional help.....and when you do, could you please pass along a name & phone number so that I may make an appointment also...solo or group session, doesn't matter much to me.
I do all those things to my MINI as well, but then I also carry on conversations with the horses, goats, chickens, dogs and cats. Jim
I do this to my Subaru. There has been snow on the roads in my area and when I come home from work I take the back roads. She corners like a champ. I always pat her on the dashboard and say "Good girl!"
Those ^ kinds of people think of their cars as an appliance. They will never get it. Shower your 4 wheeled friend with love. :goaljnky
I've always talked to my cars. Sometimes it's praise, sometimes encouragement (you can make it), sometimes it's cussing (when it didn't make it). I did fine a long time ago that banging on them just makes them mad and bad things happen.:biggrin5:
Welp..... I do "Date Nite" with my wife at least two nights a week... Seems to make us both happy.... And it gets me out of the kitchen two nights a week as well... I get to let someone else cook... We both like discovering new local restaurants.
For the longest time the only picture in my wallet was of my MINI. Then my wife found out........now its a picture of our three MINIs.
Oh yeah Heather... I think we all here talk to our cars You can't have a MINI I think and not talk to it.
