Default Ignored next to Mini

I met up with some friends and I was parked next to a Mini. As we were getting into our cars at the end of the evening one of the girls says to him "wow, cute car" and walks right past my 911.1 C4S.

Most women I've met couldn't care less about your car and obviously I didn't buy the car to impress anyone, but as a single guy it still stung a bit that she noticed the Mini over the 911.

On the other hand I've had random people ask to take pictures of the car and come up and ask questions about it, but as much as I like the Mini I never thought of it as competition for the 911 in terms of looks.

My wife cares. She's obsessed with 911s.

Of course she loves Minis too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not all women are materialistic, a mini is definitely a "cute" car to be fair
Having said that, fiancé loves my 911, all of her friends also love it

Maybe the girls were interested in the guy and the car was the lead in line?

That's why have a 911 and a MINI. Well, the MINI is actually the wife's but she loves driving the Macan Turbo as well.
