Baha!! I love the picture at the top of the story! It shows the Crossman, instead of a MINI-E

I think it sucks that they get it for $10 a month when we pay $850. At least make it something reasonable.

Agree. They should have lowered the lease then they would have found enough people to pay them. Now they end up giving these away for free. What a shame for every single full paying lessee. And it is exactly what I forsaw happening.
Just wait until they install the radar/ laser for speeding and then pull you over. Not only will you have to look into those nice reflective sunglasses and the mustache, but he will write you a ticket, in addition to the tab all Mini E lessees (those that did not listen to me) are currently already paying so their local DPWs and Sherriffs have a great $10 a month life. According to the article BMW pays everything. So no wonder the Sheriff calls this "It's clean-energy, it's cost-effective and it could prove to be a boon for the county".

Very unfair. Very one-sided.
