I was coming over 17 in my wife's bone stock forester and had 3 of them around me... no it did not look like they knew each other.

One of them was driving some what sane. The other one was driving retarded and couldn't maintain speed for crap. The other one was behind me. She'd ride my butt on the straighter sections and I'd leave her in the dust on the curves... I mean bad. And was driving very mellow with my wife and daughter in the car at 9am on sunday.

At the top of 17 she finally smashed by me doing about 70 across the top of the hill like a typical idiot. I actually slowed to about 55 like pretty much any other santa cruz native does. Took me 2 corners to close the gap. LOL!

In Los Gatos she flew around me in the slow lane and cut off the mini in front of me. I said to my wife.... see... that would never happen in a subaru. These people are all dicks. I've literally met 1 cool mini driver (new minis).

He was like 20 and the thing had a full cage in it, etc. Bad *** car.

Then I passed her again because she was driving like a retard in traffic and I stayed in the fast lane maintaining my speed.

She drove like that up my ***. Try to pass. Etc for like 20 minutes straight until I made the move to 280.



Mini.... equals the ricer drivers of the "luxury" world. Little dick (car) syndrome. Like Prius drivers. Igits.




good luck man!

Well, tell me more about how you feel about Mini drivers...

If I get a miata (after dumping the wife's swedish money pit), would that make it better?

To be honest, I haven't encountered that many douchey Mini drivers, but I've seen my share of hipsters in SF city and LA. I have nothing to prove or compensate for. I like particular cars for what they are and that's it.

Oh and the Prius is the wife's work car (given to her by her employer).

+1, I don't think I've ever have the displeasure of meeting a douchey mini driver.

I would suspect that's because you are do not know how to identify one as a means of self preservation.

Very fun little cars. And actually much larger than they seem like they should be. I actually like them.

And to be fair...... in my eyes, most drivers are morons. LOL!

LOL! Well... since it's on the company dime, I will forgive the transgression just this once.

As for the miata... maybe... just maybe! But after you dump said money pit I think you should consider another subaru. LOL!

Craigslist and edmunds is your friend. Look up how much they cost used now, and what their MSRP was when new. You'll be surprised

my girlfriend has a mini, and it has the worst seats out of all the cars that I have ever driven! (however limited that may be...) really really bad seats, very uncomfortable!
The headrest protrudes forward way too much, and there is no lumbar support for your back! Hurts my neck and back every time I drive it.
The seats in my wrx is way better

so... Good luck surviving your commute with these badly designed seats!
