R56 Irritated

Irritated
I truly love my R56. I enjoy every moment I am in it. Today for the second time, I heard my wife tell others that she is embarrassed getting out of it. I have no intention of getting rid of it, but none the less it I am tweaked. I will pick up another "less embarrassing" car in the future, but not at the expense of getting rid of this one. Just needed to say it.
Thanks all.
Thanks all.

Wow. Can't say I've heard that before. I have heard plenty of Cutes, aweeees, teeny-tinys, and when I had my Electric Blue R53, baby blue Barbie car. But embarrassed? I understand the Monte, 'Vette, and Malibu are traditional "Mans" cars, but for a DD car, MINIs are great!
If it was me and my Fiancée was jabbing me with something like that I'd let her know it was extremely irritating. I would appreciate an ounce of respect that I picked this car and Love driving it. I mean its just plain mean to cut a guys ego down like that. No matter how small that guys ego is, don't cut it down with a comment like that.

I just have no clue why they would be looked at that way....
My wife had a Boxster S for years and I never felt that way about it either....how anyone could think any car from Porsche is a girl's car? Next to Ferrari, they are the one automaker whose car designs and technology come right off the track and into the showroom...The Boxster is a direct descendant of the 550 Spyder for gosh sakes. oh well....
Now, VW Bugs with the flowers in the little holder on the dash...THAT feminine reputation I fully understand

People are hard to figure out...
I can't figure out why people like or dislike different things...I have a 2012 Justa and everybody including my teenage daughter loves driving in it. My wife has a 2006 Boxster that my teenage daughter doesn't want to be seen in. I love both of the cars. Other than my choice of music, my wife loves driving in the Mini.

I know a lot of people are uncomfortable with the extra attention they get (or think they get) driving/getting out of a more conspicuous car. By embarrassed, your wife might just mean she gets uncomfortable because she thinks that more people are looking at her getting out of the car than she's used to.
