My sentiments exactly MrWhoa.

I hate it when people take popular cars and exploit them in ways they were not meant to be exploited just to put out their POS products. You know those people dont even care about that car one bit, it's heritage, etc... they just abuse it.

I called it that cause P Diddy came out with an Escalade that comes with like six TV screens in it.

That car was featured in the Aug/Sept issue of Mobile Entertainment. Relax guys, it was an exercise in installation skills, not a road going model for your driving pleasure. The install was done by Ultimate Audio in Central Florida... basically the owner of the company wanted to demonstrate his guys skills by putting as much as possible into the smallest package. They literally fit 2000 lbs. of equipment into that poor Cooper! Talk about a performance enhancer!! 0-60 in never!!

Yeah, you're talking about the Sean John Lincoln Navigator.....but imagine a rapper having a mini named after him and it being all decked out like that, I wonder what rapper would do that? The Lil Romeo Mini or the Bow Wow Mini

I saw that MINI at SEMA last week. My favorite tidbit was the ghetto clamp to keep the hatch propped open with all that crap weighing it down:

Ok, who here thinks that this mini is someones daily driver that built it to look really cool, and not some show-off cram as much stereo/video garbage into it as we can to show off our installation skills?

Oh.. i guess we already raised our hands.

Why they didn't get a Civic instead?

It seems to me the Civic is more in tune with that kind of market audience for gaudy stereo systems and the like.

What a bunch of wierdos.

Its nothing more than a showcase for their products and installation skills. I seriously doubt they expect anyone to want to do all that to their car.

As far as the Tireflys, make fun of them all you want.....stupid looking as they are, the inventor and owner of the company sold 14 million of them last year alone. He is a multi millionaire several times over.

It was the biggest most extravagant display at SEMA.

Ill take that flugalbinder all week long and twice on Sundays.

It's ridiculous, of course. How can one watch TV with the door closed and while driving? More important, why have a TV in the MINI? It's meant to be driven!!!!
