I found this in a Chinese news website, hopefully I didn't double post it.

A Million Dollar MINI:












Here is the story (I translated from Chinese): 4 artists spent 6 month on this R50 and created this. Market value is 1 million dollar. It'll be in a NY "art show" at the end of this month. This MINI is called a "true Amercia MINI".....whatever that suppose to mean...
I don't know I am really impressed by this thingy... It's just too busy to my eyes... Plus, those wheels just do not look right w/ the car, It's a MINI, not a lowered Escalade And those sparks are so photoshop-ed, too fake!
Well, just my 0.02

 

Those wheels at least should have been at least Lexani with at least some colored stones in them

 

I think it looks cool. Would be a bee-otch to detail though

 

Well, that's a youification for 'ya.

 

So it's a Brittish car that's owned by a German company with an "American" motif by Chinese artists........OK !

So how I think the focus of that project got lost.:impatient

A+ for effort!

 

It's cool. I like it. It's also purposefully bizzare .. So the wheels fit right in.

 

wow. what an overload of stereotypical American icons. lol
They even managed to put the space shuttle in there
Where's the apple pie?

 

bleeeechhhhhh that thing sucks

 

I guess this makes this particular MINI a "MultiCultural Monstrosity".

 

It's definitely eye-catching.

MINIUSA should buy it, use it as a promotional tool, drive it cross-country, and park it at various MINI dealerships...and caution new MINI buyers...."Contrary to what you might have heard, yes, you can actually go too far in you-ification".

 

+1 (emphatically)

 

As my mom would say, "Well, it's different!"

 

I Think it means that you spend WAY too much time and money modifying a car to the point that nobody except the original owner thinks it is worth the money "invested" .......sounds familiar

 

I think those 4 artists are home-grown Americans, the article didn't metion their nationality. If there were Chinese, you'll see great-wall & panda all over the place.
Don't ask me why the MINI ended up in a Chinese website. It's probably their way to show How crazy rich people can get on this side of the world.

 

Too much for me. YY_Mini how about posting the website link so others can try a translation.

Thanks

Too much for me, A- for effort. Needs Pimpstar wheels.
Bet the aerodynamic drag is increased.

valued high due to the swarovsi crystals covering the car...
