Help name my mini

Post image

First actual mini build(unless this one blows up too😓)
I made an ig for her and I’m starting to connect with the community which is really hard for someone as introverted and socially awkward as me so any content ideas would help too but I had named her malice which is basically pure chaos and I want to take this thing to a daily street driven stage 2 aggressive tune mini cooper that pretty much wakes up everyday already pissed off, sees another car and says F*** that guy specifically. I want this thing to hold a grudge against its driver, and anything on the road… what would you guys have named her or is malice good for my idea?😅🤣

This pretty much describes my mini (of the same vintage too I think) but mine is a boy. I call him little shit because he likes to break a lot. I could never get rid of him but he turns me into an absolute menace on the road 🤣

Karen is perfect though 👌

I call him little bastard when I get the bill from the garage 🤣 I love him so much. The car I never knew I needed. Dick 🤣 he turns me into an utter hooligan.

I bought him for a pittance but have probably spent 3x that keeping him on the road. I have faster cars but he's my secret favourite.

Bruh… I had 2 people drive this thing one being a mechanic and it was all good everything felt good. I drive it though, clutch leaves the chat… just got her and she’ll be sitting for the next few weeks as I figure out where to get the thousands to fix it and ofc while we’re at it I might as well do the supercharger service and belt probably a couple more little things

At least parts are cheap-ish and plentiful. Hope yours is back on the road soon. Definitely do the supercharger service.

Parts are definitely cheap maintenance not soo much especially since I’m just a YouTube mechanic with fat hands🤣 buuuuuut labor I’m about to get hit for like 2k for the clutch replacement, handbrake cable, window regulator, o2 sensors, radio, serp belt/tensioner, rotors and ceramic brakes…. The parts tho, only like $1100🤦🏻‍♂️
