I'm sorry for the loss of your friends, but the issue was more about a 19 year old driving stupidly - he just happened to be in a MINI.

While I am deeply saddened by this completely avoidable tragedy, calling all MINI owners jerks will not do anything to ease the pain. Take your frustrations out in a positive manner and use this opportunity to help educate people.

While this is an unfortunate incident but coming here and bashing us MINI owners is totally uncalled for. To what the previous posters said, it's not the MINI's fault, it's the driver at error.

There is already a thread on this topic.

While the event was a tragedy in which 5 people's lives ended, it does not dignify poor behavior. Violations of the site guidelines will not be tolerated. Nor will an attack against a community for the actions of one driver be tolerated.
