Go-cart handling (2) Monday, Jan 4, 2010 2:33 pm

A recent commercial for the Mini Cooper claimed that it had go-cart handling.  Not being a go-cart owner or driver, I don't really know what that means, and I'm not entirely sure it's a good thing.  I guess technically I drove a go-cart at Disney World, but those things only went about 10 mph and were surrounded by bumpers so they could serve their main purpose of hitting other go-carts.  Maybe it's alluding to the fact that go-carts have tiny lawnmower engines.  That's good, right?  Or maybe it's because they sit low on the ground, so you can intimately feel whatever surface you're driving on.  I guess if I ever have a desire to drive a go-cart on a highway, I'll invest in a Mini Cooper.  Otherwise I'll stick to a normal vehicle.

It's better to remain ignorant to this sensation than to experience it and then yearn for a Mini.  Just ask our friend Scott.  (Or ask me, but then I sort of just said it didn't I?  I miss my mini as impractical as it was for us).

The weird thing is that I've driven a Mini, and my only feeling is that it's like a normal small car, but with no back seat or trunk.  I guess I never got to the "yearning" part.
