Hi MINI fans!

I saw this car on 28" this afternoon in South Beach, Miami...

It simply looked ugly!

I hope I won't see any MINI riding on those!

For a second there I thought someone had put a 1970's era jeep cherokee chassis under a caddy body. Kinda like what people used to do to corvettes. But there were no gumbo mudder tires on it.

Not enough Bling they need to be spinners, ugh some people try and try but they just don't get "it"

I heard what I thought was a small plane landing on me ssitting at a stoplight, sure enough it was the shiny off road tires on a Chevy pick up with a 24 inch lift kit. I'll never co,plain of roadnoise from runflats again.

I was working in West Memphis, Arkansas a couple of years ago and saw a Lincoln Town Car with lift kits and HUGE wheels. It looked like the owner had tried to make it into a 4x4 instead of just raising it. I won't say the thoughts that went through my mind when I saw it the first time.

Maybe that person moved to Florida and traded up for a Caddy.

He should have bought a MINI. He'd be having more fun.

What does he plan to drive over, anyway? He wins the UGLY Award.

And with no trailer hitch to hang his "jewels" off of, he just attached them to the bumper.

Let me now launch into a pet peeve. When did so many people go low rent? Things like the abovementioned "jewels", or the sticker of the boy either peeing on something or flipping off other drivers are just classless. Damned unimaginative mouth-breathers...

Okay - both those POCs above are hillarious!


Nothing like that around these parts...I think Canadian's are more, um, conservative (or perhaps we just have better taste! ...don't worry I'm ducking for flames!)

However, if I was having a cruddy day and saw one of those it would make my laugh!
