Post MINI Bashing, MINI Envy, or MINI Hate Crime

In either case someone in LA will be making the decision. Another Countyman or something else.

It sure looks totaled, wish they had shown the front of the Suburban.

.... or none of the above. I'm assuming the MINI driver did something that annoyed the truck driver and he decided to 'go postal'.

I had two guys in a pickup go over the edge while following me and my wife in my 2010 HT while doing the speed limit on a two-lane road. I've had two separate instances of a pickup running up on the back of my roadster and then tailgating.

There's a bunch of hate out there, and for some bullies economical small cars and bicycles are targets for their frustrations. See "coal rolling" on youtube.

As an owner of a lifted tuned diesel truck I hate "coal rollers" so much. They are killing the diesel tuning scene and making all of us look bad. Most real diesel enthusiasts hate those people too...

That's unfortunate. She should have toggled sport mode and out driven the truck driver
