The first time I saw one of these, I knew I had to have it. I ordered the sticker two weeks before I got my MINI. The sticker patiently waited on top of my monitor at home until the car arrived. My first true moment of ownership joy was applying the sticker.
I see lots of smiling faces behind me at streetlights (except Dodge Truck drivers, apparently, they can't seem to find the humor.)


While I'm at it, here's the side view:

If a "hemi" is half...
I guess that would be a ....Qua-emi?

Brilliant!

Where can they be acquired?

I've got some Billy Bad Az in my town who would die if he saw one on a MINI.

Funny, funny stuff...I can only imagine the looks you get. Now just be careful that one of those big Dodge truck boys doesn't take such offense to it that he rams you...

I think that's right up there with slapping a Type'R' sticker on a non-Type'R' car. Worst I saw was a Hyundai with a '405hp' badge of a Z06 Vette on both front fenders. When asked what's up with that after I was able to contain myself from the histarical laughter, he says "The car has 405hp" But when asked to open the hood, he declined. Then his buddy started laughing and said to the driver/friend "I told you that badge was gay". I don't understand why people do that. But to each their own I guess.
BTW, I'm sure just about every Dodge dealer would carry the decals. I've seen them on a few Rams already.
Cheers,

I think that's hilarious.

I am on the hunt for a bumper sticker that says "I eat glue". One of my friends has one for his snowboard but can't remember where he got it.

Discodan figured it out. I've got the JCW package as well. So when the light turns greens the people behind me who were laughing at my sticker, quit laughing and staring staring in shock as the distance that separates us grows quickly. That's my favorite.

As for the sticker, you can't get them at the Dodge dealer (or at least you couldn't a few months ago). They were giving them out at the dealers for tester drivers so I think there is a limited quantity. I had to buy mine on ebay. Either way though, if you want one, call a dealer and see if you can get one. Of course I cut off the Dodge logo, but yes.. I love it and I make it a point to pass every dodge truck I see, which provides for plenty of entertainment.

As for the bike rack, I don't know yet, as I still need to pick up the different rubber grommet peice that will allow for grabbing larger frames. I did hear though that they changed the design to something totally different. I'm not sure what it is but I'll check it out at MINI of N Scottsdale today when I pick up that grommet.
