Did they pick the wrong car to use or what!?!?!

Saw this ad for GoToMyPC...<obviously, I'm sure all the necessary copyrights are in place and I'm just borrowing it to show it to the NAM community>.

I had to say to myself, 'man, they obviously aren't going to appeal to the MINI community with a tag line of 'Get off the roads'!'

You mean you don't access the internet from your car? I sometimes use my Laptop to play music through my auxillary input and often times find myself in a parking lot checking my E-Mail or NAM from the comfort of my MINI.

Yeah, everytime I'm in my MINI, all I can think about is how fast can I get out of it so I can go online! I just hate driving.

Actually, I have gone off-road and online in my MINI!

When I'm doing a multi-day drive and ready to stop for the night, I'll park at the first hotel off of an exit, get out my laptop, get online via the hotel wireless hotspot, and shop for prices! All in the comfort of my MINI!

The MINI is a respectable rally car; on and off road.
