We like to celebrate BIG. As the saying goes, "bigger is better," right?
Maybe. But sometimes, bigger is just bigger.
We should all take time to notice and celebrate the little things in life. Like little cars with their cute little wheels, their high-pitched beeps, and their ability to annoy tall people.
Many minis are also eco-friendly or alternative-fuel powered. That means they may also be able to drive us out of our eco-destructive rut!
In that spirit, I’ve conducted a not-so-little search of the not-so-little Trend Hunter archives to come up with a collection of little car delights worthy of a small celebration.
