Kill them. Kill them now. Slowly, medievally, painfully.

Make them the new 'agony of defeat' on ABC's Wide World of Sports.

Put 100' of cheese grader on a waterslide, fill it with saltwater and send them down.

Put piano wire in their dental floss.

Yes, all that money to make a nice $22k MINI look like a $16k Honda.

Reminds me of the chrome trend a few years back when tuners would add chrome everything to $35k BMW and they'd end up looking like cheap Toyota fixer-uppers.

To each his own, I guess... but wow. This make me sad for that poor MINI.

My grandfather once said to me when I was a young boy, "Son, some people are just, plain stupid." Case in point!

Somehow I think they are unclear on the concept of "anti-rice".

I feel quite ashamed that this piece of junk came out from my country. On behalf of the criminal who put this thing together I would like to offer my most sincere apologies to the Mini community. If I ever see it I will burn it and slap the owner.
