It Looks Like a Mini!

Has anyone recently gone through New Jersey Vehicle Inspection. I just had mine through and the backside of the new inspection sticker has the outline of a car....I swear it looks just like a Mini!

Anyone else out there agree?

Lorin: Hmmm, never really gave it much thought as being a new mod. Hey, whatever floats your boat!

Lorin, this MOD is not available to you. That is unless you want to register your many MINIs in the state of NJ and go thru the timeless right of passage known as the "New Jersey Vehicle Inspection " Then you can get one

With Lorin's luck he would decide to go for the MOD and his car would be rejected

A fair request. I tried to get down as low as possible to eliminate the foreshorting due to the slope of the windshield, but it still came out skewed. So the car looks a little more squat than the actual sticker....



They could have done a better representation on the exhaust pipe, but I guess their main intention here was to show the exhaust gas...

Okay, it does look like a MINI, although we would NEVER have that amount of exhaust fumes coming out of such a long pipe!

Remember...MINIs used to have long pipes until the recall cut the MINIs' Nuts off.

The server that had the picture on it went down this morning due to the snow storm. I see that it is back up now.

My wife and I just moved to New Jersey, and I went in to get the MINI inspected today. (Dealing with the MVC is an absolute blast I might add ) The guy slapped the sticker on my window, and I thought "that's a MINI." So, I thought, "well, maybe they have different stickers for different cars?" ...if you have a pickup, then your sticker has a pickup on it, etc. But I guess they all have MINIs on them...or maybe the image is completely random. Anyway, I got a MINI...which is pretty funny. I was looking it up and found this, so I thought I would resurrect it the thread.
