me in a mini?!
 

sweet moses. my father is considering the purchase of a mini cooper s. the only car i've ever wanted is a HUMMER H2. i think a mini cooper is the exact antithesis of an H2. is this some sort of sick, twisted joke? :confused:

here are my thoughts on the mini:

the pros: 6-speed manual trans, yellow, FAST, gas mileage, cute?

the cons: not a HUMMER, cute?, not a HUMMER

if this isn't irony, i don't know what is. :lame:

Re: me in a mini?!
 

disown him 'til it's an h2

Re: me in a mini?!
 

I should!

-But then again, I don't want to appear spoiled... :shhh:

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Insisting on an h2 rather than a mini is not being spoiled, spoiled would be flipping out if you got a yellow h2 when you wanted a black h2. Kinda like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzG_oHDLZdc :giggling:

I loved that when it first came out. Too bad it turned out to be an ad with the second addition.

Was it Dominos? I can't remember.

My daughter wants a Mini and shes a liberal journalist...

Just shows you that "That you can lead them to water but you can't make them drink"

OH GOSH, WHERE DID I FAIL !!!

Re: me in a mini?!
 

disown her 'til she changes her liberal ways

Re: me in a mini?!
 

I got an idea, get a job and buy whatever you want by yourself. :twak:

Quit spongeing off your Dad and be your own man.:fdance:

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Dude there probably the most fun car to drive. My father had two one The Mini Cooper S, and the next one we got was the Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works GP one the limited edition one we had number 0578 out of 2000. That thing was a lot of fun 248HP and 600 lbs lighter than the normal Cooper S it was awsome. There awsome cars youll defintly get a kick out of it. But before getting I bileve MINI is changing their body for 2008

Re: me in a mini?!
 

It's not too late to have more kids. Hurry!

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Uhh... I'm seventeen. $58k is a ways off yet... Thanks for the advice though... :giggling:

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Yeah, I don't doubt they're fun. Its just that I was fortunate enough to test drive an '07 H2, and it was amazing. I don't disagree that small cars are fast and fun to drive, but its definately an H2 for me!!:D

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Not if you start selling crack and pimpin' hoes it isn't.

:dancingbanana: :jump: :jump: :jump: :dancingbanana:

HAHAHA! Thanks for the tip! -I guess I may as well just drop out now!

Re: me in a mini?!
 

If you cant get and H2 get an H3!

Re: me in a mini?!
 

OK. Is he thinking of getting himself a Mini, or getting one for you? If its for him who cares he's the one thats got to be seen in it. If its for you and he's the one footing the bill then your gonna get what you get.

Re: me in a mini?!
 

This hurts me to say... but for the same price as the MINI S, if you really want an SUV you can always go with the Wrangler Unlimeted.

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Damn beer snot out the nose!!!!:clapping:

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Just start wheelin (off-roading) the hell out of your Mini. After replacing a few radiators, wheels, tires, and body panels, your dad should get the hint. :giggling: That is how I got my first SUV. Sure I had to pay for it, but I needed a co-signer.
By the way, the H3 is a great vehicle, certainly a great hummer for your first.

Re: me in a mini?!
 

A used H3 at $29K would be nice.

Re: me in a mini?!
 

:jump: That's funny!

Mini Coopers are sweet! Take it!

Re: me in a mini?!
 

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!:jump:

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Oh, my bad. I guess your username threw me off?

Maybe you should change it to Hummer Sackrider_VT. :jump:

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Its for him, I would use it too though. We share cars in my family! :p

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Thanks, but no thanks... :twak: :jump:

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Amen brother, but my father bought an Eddie Bauer Explorer last year, even though I warned him of the soon to be released H3 for a comprable price...:mad:
No way is he buying another SUV...

Re: me in a mini?!
 

I think its happening this Saturday... (either in CT or NJ) I'll post a pic if it goes down!

Re: me in a mini?!
 

I drove a mini for a week while I was in Utah last september. It was fun. Wouldn't want to get in an accident with it though. The ride was rough. The wife didn't really appreciate it at the time. Lastly, there's no way of fitting kids comfortable in the back seat....

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Oh, yeah! There's definetly no room in the back, especially for me. (6'2", 250) We gave one a spin though, and it certainly was fun to drive!

Re: me in a mini?!
 

OH CHIT !!!

we went to 2 Mini dealers over the past week...

HELP ME --- HELP ME --- help me --- help me ---help me --- help me


elp me help !!!

other then the kid, does anyone own a MINI on this forum ???

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Re: me in a mini?!
 

RYD, are you considering trading in your two H3's for a mini???? Tell me it's not so! No way could your doggies go for a ride in one of those!

Re: me in a mini?!
 

no way...

my daughter wants one and shes paying for it herself...i'm just trying to help on the research side...

so far been to two dealers and both are saying list and i'm saying NO WAY/NO HOW !!!

Re: me in a mini?!
 

RYD,
Take the girls to the Hummer dealer and show em how the other half lives:beerchug:

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Shes a LIBERAL JOURNALIST and beyond help (she did let me pay for lunch)

and

we took my YELLOW DUCKY to the MINI dealer to look/talk...

The salesman and sales manager liked the Duck...

what can i say...

Re: me in a mini?!
 

my dad had two, had one mini S, then had the Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works GP #0415 out of 2000, and both those wre freakin sick and hte GP was bad as$ over 220HP no back seats much much much reduced weight in that little car the thing freakin flew, i love the mini's i think there one of the most fun cars to drive and ive drove many many many cars, but if you get it you gotta go with the S in stick

Re: me in a mini?!
 

well the mini forum seems to think (sticker - list - msrp) is very much the norm...

i'm hearing (reading) stuff there of lots of dealers doing ADM (additional dealer markup)...

I would say that sucks but at least getting sucked feels good, paying full or above just isn't AMERICAN... there should be a law against it...

saturn tries it but is not sucessful...there are lots of ways around it...i love the challange...

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Just move to the tip and start smuggling. I HEARD their was big money to be made....wait.......you'd need a go fast boat...and they are more than an H2....sorry...you're SOL:jump:

Re: me in a mini?!
 

all i know is with that GP we kinda got screwerd over with that, we actually payed a little below list, which was like completly against the rules they were going ot everyone else way above list. And we had it for like 4 months, then traded it in on my dads new car, the crazy part was then the Porsche dealer sold the mini which, we drove for several months, for over the orignal list price by a large margin! However list does not seem norm for these I have a few friends with Mini's and no one payed list for it

Re: me in a mini?!
 

Hey, they have the Munchkin Mini Limo.:giggling:
