OK, so my parents are letting me finance my own car, and I think I've chosen the right car for me. Went to miniusa.com and designed my own '03 Mini Cooper. All I'm waiting on is parent's approval for order and my birthday to finance it.

This is going to be fun...

Cute, isn't it?

My wife says with this color you will have to be really carefull selecting a non-clashing shade of lipstick....

LMAO!

I thought teenagers were supposed to want gas-guzzling hot-rods, not "cute" cars.

Miko-

Funniest line I've seen on the BBS today, and there have been a few gems.

6.5 on the car
9.5 on the lipstick joke

Ouch...oh well...that's what I get for having different tastes!

:D

No no...the car I've chosen is all silver...not the green. Though I don't know if I can find a lipstick color to match that...

Any ideas?

I have a 2002, Indy Blue with a US flag on top.

You'd think the car was a "chicks" car, but it isn't. I explained to a friend that either couples like it or men do. Not as many women do (well... teenagers do... but that doesn't cout). He didn't believe me until we took a trip to Seattle to see a ballgame. Every interction someone would roll down the window and ask about the car. It was usually a guy, usually a redneck or on a rare occasion... it was a couple.

Basically, people will call it a chicks car because that's what the bug is and that's how most think of the Mini. Drive one and you'll find its anything but.

I'd recommend getting the non-superchaged (the one you have pictured) and getting as many options as possible, though I don't like the sunroof setup. I don't know if leather is necessary either, as the stock interior is pretty comfortable and cleans up nice.

Deja, you're gayer than gay is gay. Nice car tho', you should bring it down sometime. I doubt I could ever shoe-horn my fat bellybutton into it, but I'd like to see one up close.

IMHO "British Racing Green" would fit just fine in a Mini Cooper.

Cool, shoot me an email. Would that be the 18th?
