This advertisement is pretty cool. Thanks 20C4S for the heads-up on Roadfly!

I've been looking for those kill stickers and the Evil Keinval iron on for a while now and when ever I hear about them in a new issue of a mag I can never find them. Are they for the subscription versions only? I think the workers take them out and sell them or something cuz I can never find them...

I have a good feeling they are subscription only versions of the magazines. I have two of the kill sheets, one from Maxim and one from Automobile Magazine (both subscription). When I looked at these magazines on store shelves there were no inserts . I guess MINI doesn't want to spend too much on advertisement!

Wouldn't stickers like that encourage racing? Would something more discrete make sense. Maybe something done to the inside driver's or inside rear window or even rear hatch. Maybe something funny like a few cheetahs. rhinos. crocs, or motorcycles? So other people see the humor in it and don't think it is a challenge.

Enough SUVers hate us already without us pretending to hate them back by stickering "killed" SUVs on the sides of our MINIS. I think this is a rare slip off the karma tightrope by MINI USA.

As far as the SUV owners hating Minis, who cares unless some "Hummer driving soccer mom" decides to go on a road rage frenzy. I'd really like to find someone that races and beats the heck out of the super decked out little rice burning economy/sport cars that seem to be so popular in the racing circles.

i hope it doesn't happen, but I think the doors with the kill stickers are looking to get keyed. Just my 2 cents worth

DJ, looks like you put your 3 cents worth (just kidding). I do agree with you though. I think it's cool but would not put on my car.

That is true,

Why does nobody know some of the most basic rules in life.

Don't mess with a mans automobile. Being second only to...

Don't mess with a mans woman. Though some may think that is the other way around.

Wow! I didn't know about those stickers but it sucks that you'd have to buy that Maxim mag to get it. I wouldn't give in to that garbage.
You don't have to look at it like you had ro race someone, just stick on a sticker for every moron you see in a SUV.

That's right!

Hey, that's $.6 you're throwing around up there...

Mine came in the latest Motor Trend, and yes, they are on my car now.. I figure, if you're the type if idiot who can't take a joke, i'm already in trouble... of course, most people on the road today don't know what the heck the stickers are...

Right, right!

Pilfer them! Go to your local overcharging, independent bookseller-killing mega book mall & discretely "borrow" this ad from the MAXIM.

D.J. is onto it, - don't park at the mall with those stickers on! Some punk will surely make you sorry.

Q: Are the stickers of a "glass-static cling" quality, or are they really a sticky sticker?
