MINI too "girly" poll

[Hutto]

Im really considering getting a new mini...I really like the looks and think its a great deal for the price plus there is a ton of aftermarket stuff out there...what do you think...Im lookin at a drk. silver 2005 MINI Cooper S with black stripes sports package premium package 0 miles w/ warranty and i can later get the JCW engine tune up kit which gives the car 207 hp without voiding the warranty and ive seen some minis with 250 hp(pretty crazy for minis)....but remember thats my opinion...please say what you think

Depends. If it had like say black rims to match that would be pretty manly. But then again it just depends how you sport it. If you were abercrappy and highlight your hair i dont think a mini is going to help out your "image. Just poking fun dont mind me :P

[kelly_s]

all depends on how you mod it and what style you are

i guess its okay if your gay........no just kidding i actually like the mini but only in the dark graphite gray with black top, they handle and feel like an audi tt in my opinion but cheaper, its the best sub compact car you can by......plus they have a very high resale value......very high resale value........very high resale value, get it

People who know about cars will respect the Mini's euro styling and ability to perform but most chicks will assume you're a gay austin powers fanatic. There's just no way to look masculine when tumbling out of Mini Cooper.

They are actually a blast to drive, especially when modded. I would consider owning one as a beater/auto-x car if I already had like a Porsche Turbo in the stable.

Generally though, "too girly" for a young single guy. "Practical" for an older well established gentleman.

You are right, there are a ton of aftermarket mods for the MCS. I like the car and for anyone who might think I am "gay" for driving a MCS.....go pound sand up your ass!! I know of a mechanic at a local BMW stealership who races a MCS and he is pushing 450hp out of that beast.......the car is rather amazing both stock and modded.....I say go for it, its also good on gas too.....

a nicely moded mini s could hang with a e36 M around the track

If you get one with out a roof, you are a girl. Else, do something more like this...

[SizzFlair]

Girly if it's NOT black or blue.... red, yellow and any other colors look very girly.


There's a kickass turbo/supercharged Mini cooper s around my area and that thing... spins its wheels til 3rd gear o.o To the point where it needs slicks

[deafboy]

AS long as you do it right....

[maxbeamer325]

if mini's are done right then there not really...stock=girly (IMO)

[ANDRÜ]

MINIs own, and are not girly unless pink, then again any pink car is girly

depends on the color
Gold is a girly color (wife has a gold-mini)

[sjpgoalie]

just dont get a vert, and i think black with black wheels and a silver lip would look sick.
