I think the kids actions answer your question pretty well

And I thought I was a dweeb. He was holding it like a joint! And what was with pulling onto the shoulder??! And passing the Left Lane Lemmings on the right at that speed...*gasp*! I love the jewelry too.

IBTIL!

Oh, okay. VWs acting stupid on the public roads is fine. I'll log that in my memory.

State cops in Tennessee just have no sense of humor at all about using traffic cones on a highway as a slalom course. None.

Just another data point here.

How stupid can you be? From what I see on the news every day, pretty darn freakin' stupid. In fact, I'm beginning to think that only a relatively modest percentage of the total population is sane.

Agreed, no reason for the lock, IMO. The video shown is a news story, broadcast on public TV... and demonstrates what NOT to do. It doesn't glorify illegal driving, but it sure makes the drivers involved look like idiots!

The thought of MINI owners ever doing something like this makes me cringe. Remember...your car started out life as an little, economical urban runabout. Never forget this!!!
