Or where's my giant truck with mud tires on it huh?
I've been travelling on the road a lot and I needed something that got better gas mileage than the G35...and insurance on the G got too high when I moved to Dallas...so...I got a Mini.

But don't the big trucks all over the roads scare you? I rented a small car then I was in Houston in January and I thought I was gonna die on the highways dodging sport utility vehiclesj_love01 said:Or where's my giant truck with mud tires on it huh?

They don't really sell many of the sub-sub-compacts in the States, like Mini, Micra, Smart, Matiz, etc. Some models you can find, others not at all.Fergie19 said:Last time I was in the U.S (about 2001) I actually never saw a small car once, they were all huge beasts
We do have a decent amount of sub-compacts though, like the Toyota Tercel or Honda Civic.
I drove a Dodge Neon, which is a compact car and not too big.

It's a little different in North Texas...south texas...yes, lots of trucks & SUVs. Dallas is not your stereotypical texas city...lots of BMWs, Lexus', higher-end cars...

Init, guy i work with recently bought a Cooper S second hand and it had an American flag over the whole roof 
We took the piss every day until he had it removed
They're way to expensive for what they are too. Everything is an option and they all costs £££. A good friend of mine just bought a dealers demo Cooper Cabriolet and it cost over £20k For a Mini!!! Madness. He is a hairdresser and gay though so fitting the stereotype nicely there

The Cooper S's can be made feckin quick too, theres a fair few with over 200BHP now and tuning doesn't cost that much. I'm driving a Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Supersport Cabriolet this week and last night a Cooper S was all over my bumper on the A43 through all the roundabouts
