My VERY independent wife and daughter went out for lunch and bought a car. My wife fell in love

with this Cooper mini. She has arthritis in her shoulder and neck and this was the perfect car for her. She's raving about it having DUB's. I don't know what that is and she isn't sure either. Want to help me out? It has navigation, dvd, sync and a sport suspension if that helps.

Answer this question

Nell:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dub_(wheel)
A dub is a wheel or rim that is 20 inches in diameter [ citation needed ] . The term dub is a slang term for twenty (Dub Deuce's = 22's, Dub's = 20's) .......

Take care

.......:

Oh goody, she can buy a gun for hangin' with her crew!

Nell:

lol I hope she does not do that.

take care

.......:

20 inch on a Mini? Ouch. Don't hit a pothole. Kiss those rims goodbye. No sidewall at all!

Rick:

the tires are only about an inch high.

Nell:

That is odd every thing i look up on DUBs ame up with either the tires or the rims http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=Dub+Cars&FORM=QSRE4

take care

Literally Speaking ™:

1st of all the largest wheels the Mini comes with is 16" so someone lied to you about DUB's (22" wheels) 2ndly MSFT sync is ONLY available on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury products http://www.syncmyride.com/#/overlay/overlay_vehicles

3rdly if you want to learn more about that rolling matchbox/coffin on wheels here is their official website.

Rick:

your right I looked at the tires, they are 235 25 17 they are way huge. This radio navigation system is by Lotus, it has their name on it. My wife nor I never heard the word dub before.

Literally Speaking ™:

If they are 17" then they are NOT factory wheels.

.......:

Getting in and out won't do her shoulder any good. And if it's a stick, double that. No idea on DUBS. I think that's saleman talk for "markup." And I think Sync is a Ford/MS product. It sounds like a fun car. Sent it to me when she's done with it next week. I sure hope it doesn't have those UGLY stripes on the hood. Oh well, I can repaint them.

Rick:

it does have the yellow and red stripes, they fit the car. I was wondering what was wrong with the wheels and tires though. Thats what dub is is guess. It has this microsoft certified radio and everything is voice activated.

.......:

Hmm. I wasn't aware of that. It's a slick system.

?mom?:

wow I never would of guessed she would of bought one of those... they are a real cute little car... :)))

?mom?:

from what I can find dub is rims like lisa said

Rick:

It fits her perfectly. Talk about vision, there are windows everywhere.

.......:

Is it the S? Or the Clubman model?

?mom?:

hunny says hang on to the other car for her... she may decide she wants that comfy car back :)))))

Rick:

here on bainbridge we mostly have gravel roads, all cars ride about the same. Island life is like back to the 1900's. We now have our second traffic light.
