An experiment conducted in London shows that the new MINI is the world’s strongest babe-magnet. This 2012 MINI attracted 28 very skinny and flexible ladies.

The 2012 MINI out-attracted the classic Mini by 5 ladies. The old MINI attracted only 23 ladies. Both are new Guinness World Records™ .

    I know a young guy who inherited his grandmother's 2003 Park Avenue in mint condition. He always has a bevy of young ladies who love the room and ride in big cars. He takes full advantage of the column shift and bench front seat. With everything being downsized, big is going to be a status symbol. The kid is going to be a dirty old man, though. He has a double rear view mirror, one facing the back seat, and he tells the ladies "there's so much room you can cross your legs!"

      @wsn All three have comparable rear hip and shoulder room, but the Buick has the most rear leg room. The Avalon is virtually identical in rear seat room to the Crown Vic. It may just seem bigger because it's in a relatively smaller package. The comparison is to what the ladies are used to, which is usually much smaller rear seats.

    I can attest to the ladies loving MINIs. I get a lot more staring and comments from girls when I'm in my Countryman than I did in the past two months that I've been driving around a Benz, BMW and Audi.

  • Brendan Duddy soon we'll see lawyers advertising big payout$ after getting injured by a 'rogue' vehicle
  • Zerofoo @VoGhost - The earth is in a 12,000 year long warming cycle. Before that most of North America was covered by a glacier 2 miles thick in some places. Where did that glacier go? Industrial CO2 emissions didn't cause the melt. Climate change frauds have done a masterful job correlating .04% of our atmosphere with a 12,000 year warming trend and then blaming human industrial activity for something that long predates those human activities. Human caused climate change is a lie.
  • Probert They already have hybrids, but these won't ever be them as they are built on the modular E-GMP skateboard.
  • Justin You guys still looking for that sportbak? I just saw one on the Facebook marketplace in Arizona
  • 28-Cars-Later I cannot remember what happens now, but there are whiteblocks in this period which develop a "tick" like sound which indicates they are toast (maybe head gasket?). Ten or so years ago I looked at an '03 or '04 S60 (I forget why) and I brought my Volvo indy along to tell me if it was worth my time - it ticked and that's when I learned this. This XC90 is probably worth about $300 as it sits, not kidding, and it will cost you conservatively $2500 for an engine swap (all the ones I see on car-part.com have north of 130K miles starting at $1,100 and that's not including freight to a shop, shop labor, other internals to do such as timing belt while engine out etc).
